When asked for prayer requests a few weeks ago, he responded with "Pray the American people get a clue and vote Republican." I am sure he didn't mean those 17 cowardly traitors. I bet he meant men like Jeff Sessions from Alabama.
They are definitely in our prayers. It takes more than just 'firepower' to solve the aftermath of Saddam Hussein's totalitarian system. But with prayer and perseverance, it can be done.
The last three days in Congress are a complete disgrace save a few who spoke against it.
Duty and Honor keep our guys going.
Beliefs and traits whose presence barely exist within the halls of the United States Congress.
They, like their dopplegangers who held office during the Vietnam years, are pathetic little men and women whose only thoughts are about power and fame.
America, bless GOD!!

Your son is smarter than those who think they represent the majority of us! A big thank you to your son for taking care of me! We all owe him our sincere gratitude! My prayers are with him! You should be proud that you raised this great young man!
What a beautiful letter! May God Bless JT!
And Jemian is right, what's going on at home isn't right. And if the "Coward Caucus" (like that) prevails, and we need to turn to the military a decade from now, they'll be there.

May your son have a guardian angel at his side, thank you for sharing this with us. Its so tragic we must endure our misguded political circus to try and make us believe in their fruitless penny anti charades to support their power base.
God bless you and your brave son. If I were a young man again I'd be honored to stand by his side. Thank you for raising such a fine example of a man.
They need to listen to the voice of the enemy to understand how they perceive us.
ABC reporter John Miller's interview with Osama Bin Laden, May 1998:
Miller: Describe the situation when your men took down the American forces in Somalia.
Bin Laden: After our victory in Afghanistan and the defeat of the oppressors who had killed millions of Muslims, the legend about the invincibility of the superpowers vanished. Our boys no longer viewed America as a superpower. So, when they left Afghanistan, they went to Somalia and prepared themselves carefully for a long war. They had thought that the Americans were like the Russians, so they trained and prepared. They were stunned when they discovered how low was the morale of the American soldier. America had entered with 30,000 soldiers in addition to thousands of soldiers from different countries in the world. ...
As I said, our boys were shocked by the low morale of the American soldier and they realized that the American soldier was just a paper tiger. He was unable to endure the strikes that were dealt to his army, so he fled, and America had to stop all its bragging and all that noise it was making in the press after the Gulf War in which it destroyed the infrastructure and the milk and dairy industry that was vital for the infants and the children and the civilians and blew up dams which were necessary for the crops people grew to feed their families. Proud of this destruction, America assumed the titles of world leader and master of the new world order. After a few blows, it forgot all about those titles and rushed out of Somalia in shame and disgrace, dragging the bodies of its soldiers. America stopped calling itself world leader and master of the new world order, and its politicians realized that those titles were too big for them and that they were unworthy of them. I was in Sudan when this happened. I was very happy to learn of that great defeat that America suffered, so was every Muslim. ...

>> It really amazes me how the IPs and Iraqi Army persist even though our politicians doubt them back home.
The vast majority of Americans want a successful outcome in Iraq. A much smaller percentage are playing games with information and policy which has confused a good portion of the population.
We are forever grateful for your son, his comrades, and the families of the Military. They are fighting for us, our children, and the good people of Iraq. The US Military need not concern themselves with the sentiment and welfare of those that actively fail to support them. The detractors have chosen a different path on which they are alone.
The politicians' goal is not to secure this country, but to gain power.
Please, know that most of us do not agree with the votes that were cast. We support you and our troops.
Prayers for your peace and JT's safety.
Thank You for posting this and I thank your son for his service to our country.
Brave men such as he are what make this country great.
(Brave women too, of course).
The troops have plenty of support from the good people of America.
