And I am so sorry your husband was killed. In my eyes, Mariah, Jack and Will's daddy is a hero.
I will defend my husband (and his choice to defend) until the day I die so please don’t be sorry.
Thank you tgslTakoma for considering my husband a hero.
P.S. Before you jump to yet another faulty conclusion:
I served 12 years in the United States Navy and Naval Reserve. Three generations of Wombats before me were US Marines. I don’t need to show up and shout insults at a bunch of idiots to show my support for my troops.
I want our guys and gals home, not because I don’t support what they do, but because they were sent in by a bunch of idiots who have forgotten every axiom of warfare. Personally, i would have opted to radioactively poisoning the netire Muslim world for the next 10,000 years, rather than the half-assed, Vietnam-style semi-war that’s being sorta-kinda-fought, but then again, I’m a no-bulls*it kinda guy who doesn’t have to worry about being filleted on the nightly news.
My own tour of duty in Iraq (in Gulf War I) was spent fishing WWI-vintage naval mines out of the Persian Gulf and disarming or destroying them. When I finsihed doing that, I spent my time searching the deserts for Iraq looking for unexpended aerial ordinance to do the same to.
That, btw, was AFTER I had spent the previous five months loading God-knows-how-many-tons of explosive ordinance on F/A-18’s, A-6’s, A-7’s, and the occasional Marine AV-8B.
See, I already did my 19 months in the combat zone, thank you.
I think I’ve earned the right to ignore Mrs. Sheehan and her crowd of self-appointed moral censors, if I should choose to.
So while you have your fun hurling insults and beer cans at the surrender monkeys, I’ll be enjoying myself to the fullest extent, a RIGHT I GO*DAMMNED EARNED, despite what you have to say about it.
You want Cindy Sheehan to go away? Stop giving her attention.
