it's too bad all the media can focus on back home is all the negativity of us being here....we have come a long way in a very short amount of time...it almost seems as though the people back home are more impatient then the Iraqi people, who by the way are living in this shit everyday....why can't the damn media focus on the great things we are doing over here as opposed to why they still think we don't need to be here.... Thank you, ladtx, and thank you, Jeff. And AMEN! This part needs to be repeated again and again and again - all the media EVER wants to report is the negative side - the low morale of the troops still in Iraq, no WMD have been found, Bush misled the American people, yada yada yada.
...the low morale of the troops still in Iraq, no WMD have been found, Bush misled the American people, yada yada yada. True. Some of the low morale is caused by the media and their portrayal of what is happening. When parents, friends, relatives of the troops over there convey to them what is going over the airwaves here it can do nothing but hurt morale. It helps immeasurably to let them know we are behind them 100% and that the media does not represent us.
Good day to our Hostesses all, and thank you Aqua and Billie...it's nice to see all those brave faces this morning.
Yes...may God protects our troops.
I'm on the road again in a few minutes...thru Phoenix for a night with my parents and their dog and cat, pick up a nephew, roll on to Colorado the next morning for a few days with my sister's family on vacation in the Rockies.
Long drive, gonna be fun.
hijinx, thanks for that kind invite to Sierra Vista when I drove to AZ over the Fourth...that's a beautiful part of the world you live in. Maybe someday, I can take you up on it...)
