"God bless the REAL patriots, like the Qualls family."
Yes.
But I feel that the term "sacrifice" is much misused in this issue....in war, there are very very few "sacrifices"..... and they are things like jumping on a live grenade to save others, etc. Our American military goes to great lengths to prevent the necessity of "sacrifice", by the common definition of the word.
Its use seems to be an offshoot of leftie propaganda such as "the prez killed my son", etc.
I think this fathers stated willingness to "sacrifice" hs family is an ill-advised choice of words.....nonetheless, his real meaning is ultimately patriotic in the highest order.
OTOH, suicide bombers "sacrifice" themselves in order to kill others, astonishly with the blessings of their families.....as did the kamikazes in WWII. There is no American history of deliberate sacrifice, other than under extreme circumstance by individuals.....all genuine Heroes, IMO.
excellent point,and thank you for your service!
