Armed Forces Members,Veterans Use #iwillprotectyou After Muslim Child Says She's Afraid
ABC News ^ | 12/20/15 | Gillian Mohney

Veterans and current service members are using social media to reassure Muslim Americans that they will fight for their rights as citizens.

On Facebook and Twitter, military service members and veterans have started using the hashtag #iwillprotectyou after one mother's post went viral about her daughter's fear of being kicked out of the country.

Melissa Chance Yassini posted about her daughter's reaction to hearing proposals by Donald Trump to ban Muslims from entering the country.

"She had began collecting all her favorite things in a bag in case the army came to remove us from our homes," Yassini wrote on Facebook about her daughter Sofia. "She checked the locks on the door 3-4 times. This is terrorism. No child in America deserves to feel that way."

assini's post went viral and was shared more than 20,000 times. Eventually she and her daughter told their story to The Associated Press. Kerri Peek, an Army veteran saw the story on social media and was horrified.

"I was up all night, it bothered me," Peek told ABC News. "I'm a mom, for mother to mother ... I know you want to protect your children from everything."

Peek said she was especially upset that Sofia was worried about soldiers coming to take her away.

Because white Americans are just sooo incredibly evil for wanting to protect ourselves from the religious fascism known as Islam.

IF this is true, then these Veterans and current service members are being played like a cheap violin.

But since Obama has occupied the White Mosque - lots of sheeple and undesirables have entered the Armed Forces.

Propaganda. - Also, what Trump suggested was that there
be a MORATORIUM placed on Muslim immigration UNTIL the
vetting process got further checked out. LIES & more LIES
from President Hussein Obama and from President Wannabe
Hitlery Clinton.

Agreed. I saw this story yesterday and immediately knew it was propaganda.

But in the event it is true, I don’t give a sh!t. If they feel they are being discriminated against or threatened here they are free to return to the third-world craphole that spawned them.

I think this is astroturfed by the left wing.

This will turn out to be a fabrication from the mooslime hordes here to protect their forces and their forts (mosques).

They know how to push the liberal left-wing/one-worlders in their favor at every turn.

Our enemies are cunning. Our populace is mentally constipated.

Sad that more innocents may have to shed their mortal coil for the likes of the socialists and their allies in America.

May the Force be with us all. We're gonna need it.

The control of all MSM is really serious-—that control allows the Leftists to control the emotions of the masses and the masses (democracy) even terrified our Founders. Repeat the Big Lie over and over and it will become the truth—as Hitler and Leftists knew.

I have been saying for over a decade that it is the greatest threat we face. They literally steer the public whichever way they want them to go.

We desperately need to have access to the airwaves to counteract this one sided propaganda stream from all news and media sources.

Virtually every movie or TV show nowadays has a payload of propaganda intended to muddle or direct the thinking of the low attention voter.

They are herding the stupid among us into supporting their leftwing agenda, and if we don't counteract it, we are not going to win. We are going to be destroyed.

Trump nor anyone else other than the dems have even mentioned expelling mooselimbs. Although that might end up being a good idea, depending on how they act.

I hate to say it, but there are libs in the armed forces as well.

If/when TSHTF, military bases will be scary places to be. The troops are like the electorate... about 1/3 adamantly on one side politically, about 1/3 adamantly on the other side politically, and about 1/3 just looking for a trusted voice to follow. Those who get to the weapons first (and it WILL be a race) will have the upper hand, at least for the opening round. This is not a rare topic among friends on military bases. Many (most?) already have contingency plans in mind.

On a related note, just to give everyone a heads up, a new contrived catchphrase has been cooked up by the progs, it may be heard more often as the pres campaign wears on, SCHOCHASTIC TERRORISM. The idea that that bad man with the yellow hair, or that light-skinned Canadian-born Hispanic from Texas whose daughters somehow resemble monkeys and other right wing “extremists” triggered (no pun intended) the shootings in Charleston, SC and the abort-o-mat in Colorado Springs as well as scaring this poor little girl out of her wits.
