One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in
California. He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and welcoming
people were to him, and his troops, everywhere he goes, telling me how
people shake their hands, and thank them for being willing to serve, and
fight, for not only our own freedoms but so that others may have them
also.
But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped at
yesterday, on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of several
people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha.
He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the U.S.
flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached up
and touched the pin, and said proudly," Yes, I always wear it and
probably always will."
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to
stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi. A gentleman
standing behind my son stepped forward, putting his arm around my son's
shoulders, and nodding towards my son, said in a calm and gentle voice
to the Iraqi woman: "Lady, hundreds of thousands of men and women like
this young man have fought and died so that YOU could stand here, in MY
country and accuse a check-out cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen.. It
is my belief that had you been this outspoken in YOUR own country, we
wouldn't need to be there today. But, hey, if you have now learned how
to speak out so loudly and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay
your way back to Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country
that you are obviously here in MY country to avoid."
Everyone within hearing distance cheered!

I liked that. I want the war to end for various reasons, mostly for the numbers of our men and women dying because of it but I'm going to support them simple because they have made the decision to put their life on the line for this country and to defend our freedom as Americans.

Yea it was. I don't want to hear foreign people bitching about anything. If they could do so much better then why are they over here and not back running their country the way that they should to keep us from having to help?
If their country is soooo wonderful and she doesn't want us over there killing people then why did people from HER **** country kill thousands of innocent people in the September 11th attacks?
