I know how much you, your country and your country’s troops are going through now, it’s Obama and Corp. that is exaggerating the pain and suffering to fulfill their agendas.
When a young wife (one of my son's teachers) lost her husband last year in Afghanistan, I told her I sat my son down and made sure he understood the sacrifice her husband made. I hugged her and said as long as I had breath in my body, his death will not have been in vain. What would I say to her today?
I truly believe in the goodness of man. But I also know evil exists in the world. The Taliban and all it stands for is evil. Inherently evil. An evil not caused by poverty or a sense of helplessness (as Obama wants us to believe). It is not an evil that can be transformed by the kind acts of those it seeks to destroy.
It is an evil that needs to be destroyed before it destroys us. There are those who know more than I who correctly say McChrystal was wrong to break ranks in such a public way. My brain knows they are correct. My heart thinks differently. My heart rejoices because finally it is “out there.”
