I think all the women who support our troops and especially gold star moms are awesomely special! And it's got NOTHING to do with their looks.

We find ourselves in agreement more often than not TA, however on this point I am only partially on board. I think each person has a special role to play and that includes the "hot babes". My days of being a "hot babe" are gone, if in fact I ever was a "hot babe" so now my support role is that of nice mom. I bake, I run errands, I offer comfort, and do a host of things that bring joy to others. However when my daughter walks into the room her contribution of being a "hot babe" trumps anything I am doing. Guys love "hot babes" and the contribution made by the "hot babes" to troop moral is indisputable in my opinion. Think Ann Margaret with Bob Hope.

Sorry to have offended you, but I think your assessment of my post as being obscene, insensitive and in extreme poor taste is a little harsh.

Yea, I called Miss Florida Smokin’ Hot.

And a babe.

She is also a very dedicated conservative. (I didn't meet her, but Melanie Morgan told me she is more conservative than she is!)

She's a beauty contest winner for goodness sake, so I added the smokin’ part.

And who cares? Well, the Troops at Gitmo appreciated having a visit by a beauty contest winner.

And all of the other women that went, and the guys too.

As our troops have for decades all over the world.

There are several other women pictured on this thread who I referred to as hot babes on this trip.

None of them minded, in fact enjoyed that designation.

And I meant it sincerely too.

I know many Gold Star and Blue Star families and have never had a problem with anything I have said or done around them.

Although I appreciate outward beauty, I am not driven by it.

Some of the people that I think are truly beautiful, many others maybe would not.

It's not necessarily what the eye sees, but what is expressed from the heart and soul of a person that is where real beauty comes from.

I have seen many women that would be considered very pretty because of their pleasant features, but because of their bitterness and hatred (and usually liberal views) they are not attractive at all.

I hope all is well with you.
