Finally, an admission that they haven't been "supporting the troops."
If you tell a soldier that his death is just so much cannon fodder designed to gratify the urges of corrupt politicians, BEFORE you have near absolute proof of the same, then you are undermining the morale of the soldier, his family, and his nation.
After this election our soldiers know for sure....the lives lost were given for a noble purpose. It's never good to lose a loved one. But if one can extract some meaning from it, it does eventually provide some bit of comfort to their family.
Most Republicans had a "moment" when they realized that conservatism and the right-wing was, in fact, a better way despite our previous beliefs.
Most Liberals are not intelligent enough or self-examining enough to have that moment. Some are though. Some of us here prove it.
I sent a note to a friend of mine who was recently deployed to Baghdad to let him know how proud we average Joes were of our military and the great gift they had handed Iraq. He said all the troops were moved by the huge numbers who turned out to vote. He spoke of Iraqis who were wounded who tended their wounds and then got back in line, all the while being cheered on by the troops.
Our soldiers and Marines know what they have done. And today they don't care what the MSM, or Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy and John Kerry say. They are proud and glad to have been a part of history.
Shalom.
So very true. Thanks for the ping!
