The author says the 90 day Battle of Hurtgen Forest was little known. It was well known to me from a very early age. It was the battle seared in the memory of my late Dad and so many others of that time. The air bursts of artillery were the worst part for those who were there I was told. Trees shattered and splinters flew like spears as the eerily quite forest exploded without warning.
This Christmas season thousands of our troops face the end of careers unfinished, dreams of lifetimes ripped away, lives turned over and some will likely leave with nothing or very little of what they have earned even so close to the finish of careers served with not only honor but distinction. They will have been banished and shamed because they have stood on principle against a stupid, unnecessary jab that can’t even be called a vaccine.
They will need lots of help and encouragement to defeat the demons of doubt and criticism, self-deprecation and feelings of failure for their action that I think is one of continuing to serve to protect our Liberty. They have done so by not giving in to tyranny.
Don’t just remember them in your prayers, tell them you are proud of them and do what you can to help them pull their lives back together.
At least some and perhaps many of those troops who refuse the vaxxine and get cashiered for it will live longer lives without the heart attacks and strokes that seem to be in the not far future for a portion of those who succumbed or went eagerly to the medical Russian Roulette game.
