I am a friend of the SSG Bob Bales family. This has been devestating for us, but we are deeply in prayer.
I ask everyone to pray for him and his family, and our country, and even Afghanis—through this terrible ordeal.
All I can say is things are not what the media likes to portray, so don’t believe everything you see or hear on TV.
I know, you the Sunday threaders, already know this.
I’m off to church now, and won’t be back until afternoon. I will be lighting a couple of candles today, and saying many a prayer and rosary. Help by praying too.
There was a thread yesterday on which a man who had served with Sgt. Bales posted. It was really interesting and he posted a picture of the two of them.
He has total respect for Bales. I am enraged that this man was sent back four times. I don’t know what happened and I do not trust the media or Obama.
But I will pray for him and his family. The worst thing that should happen to him is to be sentenced to a military hospital for Obama-induced mental illness.
I think we should start a prayer wheel of support here on Freep...I would also like to know if Sgt Bales has a “dream team” of attorneys?
I am still not convinced this was not the Taliban setting him up.
Thanks AB for informing us. I’ll say a prayer for the Bales family - particularly the SSG and hope you will keep us informed.
