I HATE war but I support our military personnel 100%, even those who have been brainwashed about "protecting our freedom" and believe they are sacrificing for their country and folks back home. I despise those who deceive these brave men and women but I admire and respect our servicmen-women who are willing to be maimed or die for us (even though they are deluded). Fortunately, now there are thousands whose eyes are opened and they see how they have been misled.Worried Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025693881754554346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17213045.post-47823828984766606512008-11-12T10:27:00.000-06:002008-11-12T10:27:00.000-06:00I remember the veterans every day.

My dad was one of them and died way too early after suffering obscenely, gradually loosing little bits of his body over the span of 20 years because of it. I can't forget. I won't allow myself to forget. I honor the veteran but I no longer think that any war is right, just, or a reasonable path to freedom for modern man, any more than he did. By working to make war an obsolete method of dealing with our so-called enemies is how I honor his memory in the best way I can. Not one war in more than a century has served the purpose we were led to believe it would. After all they told those who came before us that the "Great War" would be the one to end all wars. As evident over the last 90 years, they were wrong.fjbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13120081721262176259noreply@blogger.com
