Every night before I fall asleep I look at two apps on my iphone- FML (F@#! My Life) and Texts From Last Night. Why? I m not sure they amuse me and make me tired. They are usually pretty funny and make me chuckle. Until I read this one:
Are you kidding me?
I have no way of finding out how true this is. I am going off the fact that this is true. That this actually happened to a group of soldiers that just doing a job they were told to do.
WOW! Really? This is 2010. This war has been going on since 2001, it has sadly become a way of life and a standard news line for the world.
While I have no family currently serving in this war I have dear friends my friends have husbands over there. Seriously folks, this is no game. This is life. This is what they are told to do. If they do not get out there and fight as they are told, will you?
I am not one for war, not at the cost of life. I am for supporting our troops though.
As someone who comes from a strong military background this saddens me. I remember during the Gulf War my uncle was serving in the Army and we tied yellow ribbons on every tree in front of my Granny’s yard until she had him back in her arms.
This is not meant to be a political post, I am not a very political person but this really saddens me.
Most soldiers that fly home from Afghanistan fly through Maine, at least most of them. I just recently saw a news story how men and women get word of troops coming home and go greet them so they have a homecoming to America. I think this is awesome. Homecomings are always a happy thing.
No one is asking you to believe in this war, we are asking you to stand by our men and women who put their life on the line to serve our country.
After all, if you can not stand behind or troops, there is plenty of room in front of them!
We tied ribbons for my older brother as well during Operation Desert Shield/Storm, and that support still flows from my family to this day!
ReplyDeleteI hope I never see something like that! ugh!
Wow, there is just NO reason on earth anyone should ever boo a service member, especially when they are coming home from a war. That just makes me so sick :(
