Re: Re: take care. Always. Texas misses you, so much it has rained all week!!!
Tammie...thank you for taking the time to write a comment. I appreciate it whenever anyone does express the opinion. I wish I had a magic wand and could make this nightmare go away. As I have expressed so many times before on this and other blogs, I am here to support my troops. I have no ill will toward the Iraqi people. From a political standpoint...you are right...this is messed up. I think it is one of the worst military and political blunder in history. And we have George and those other "chicken hawks" to blame for them. Right now, I am just a soldier trying to get out of here alive with my mental health intact. And most of all...I am here for the young men and woman who serve here. I want them home safe as well.

Re: take care. Always. Texas misses you, so much it has rained all week!!!
My heart is moved by this story. I am so sad for those who have to put up with the grief and the loss that seems like it is never going to end. I wish with all my heart that this war would end tonight. There is no other way to put it, just pull out of there! I don't care if that pisses you off! I am so sick of the talking heads dancing around this and I am so tired of us all accepting our losses. We need to work towards world peace, and NO I am not some hippy running around in a VW Bus with flowers and peace painted on it. I am just a daughter of a 22 year Navy man and I know the price that the families in this country pay when the talking heads start talking war. I always ask, "Is this worth dying over and in 20 years will it matter?" If the "conflict" is not going to lead to anything more than affordable gas 20 years from now when we should have imagined another source of energy anyway, then it is not worth dying over. I have a younger brother, who I am kinda glad got into enough trouble with drugs that the military does not want him. I would be out of my mind to know that he was over there right now. A kid, a 18 year old kid!
That is who is really paying the price right now so that we can avoid getting out of the oil business. Like it or hate it I do not give a fuck. I think its a shame that people are grieving, and that we just keep justifying this insane "conflict" when 1/10 of the money could have lead us closer to world peace.
And no I am not a hippy, not even old enough to be one but I think I would have fit in fairly well in that culture.
Moved, is what we should all be- moved to put a end to war, and moved towards world peace. Why is this ok? I am not cool with any of it. I hate the fact that we can not even speak up about this shit anymore without the fear of being called an ANTI AMERICAN or a fucking terrorist. Give me a break! I am neither, I just wish this "conflict" would stop. It is bad for America, in every way. We have gained nothing but a very bad world reputation. Tell me what you think we have gained besides cheap gas and a bad wrap, then ask yourself "will it matter in 20 years?".
It will not matter in 20 years. And if America wants to be leaders 20 years from now I honestly hope that we begin to start asking that question. We are making history, everyday that thing goes on we are making BAD history.©
Stop the "Conflict" and call it for what it is, and lets start talking about how we all got here where we can not even talk about something so important without being subject to some creapy biased people telling us that we are not Americian. That is a load of crap, and why the hell people are buying into that whole hush hush routine is beyond me. Start talking about what is going on in America it does not mean you are a bad American, it means that you care. It means that you grew some balls and are starting to ask some fairly important questions.
The end.
