I'm a Soldier in the U.S. Army and when I heard news of the 4000 death mark I became sick to my stomach. I'm lucky enough to have been to Iraq and return home to my family but so many of my fellow Soldiers have not been as fortunate. And in my heart i feel like every one of those 4000 deaths our president is to be blamed for.
I've opened up a discussion on my blog so I can talk to people and answer their questions and hopefully make people understand that not all military are supporting this war and that every one of those deaths was important and unneeded. I'd like it you'd stop by and toss in your two cents.
I'm all for defending my country but U.S. did not need to be defended from Iraq.
Mike:
Thanks for your service as a soldier and as a citizen speaking out.
As I said, Peace out!
Virgil, though I'm not pleased with things my goverment is currently doing it is still very much an honor to serve in the US Army.
I'm glad Mike said that because I had an uncle that served in the Korean conflict and 2 rounds in Vietnam, only to succumb to an unneccessary civilian murder in the U.S. in 1975. But he was very patriotic and very proud of what he did and never once, did I here of, I'm sure, of the horror stories he saw in Nam or Korea. But now, my 16 year old son is swearing he will inlist in the Air Force and it makes me proud to know that he has that patriotic blood running thru his veins, no matter how our government has screwed it up! He is only 16 and kids change their minds hundreds of times, but if he so desires to inlist, I will be very proud of his decision. Our we're proud of you, Mike!
If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there be beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there will be peace in the world.
It begins in the heart of each of us....mike, sally, virgil, all of us....
