So as I sit here typing, I'm reminded that while i'm in the nice confines of a covered structure, there are those who are fighting allegedly for the freedoms of the American people. In the event of not trying to sound crass or ungrateful, i'm just wondering; could we maybe send the children of those who send other children to war? Can we have their children fight along side the many other children with faceless parents, who hope that their child does not die in some cheesy fight for oil. Yes people I'm talking about the MIDDLE EAST! Why are we over there? Really! Can someone please tell me- without all the sugar coating, has the United States found weapons of mass destruction yet?
I read today that one of our helicopters was shot down. Somemore casulties for the United States. How many more families must cry over a loved one killed? The answer to that is many more. Remember people, there are other wars: Remember Afganistan? Remember the Philiphines? Remember North Korea?
It makes me rather ill that the United States has spread itself pretty thin....I know all you veterans are probably throwing things at your screen right now, as well as you should- your sacrifice made it so I could say these things (THANK YOU). But alas, all is not well....I feel that these new conflicts are of a greater scale, but very low on thought. I really feel that the United States should not be in the Middle East at all. At what price do we put money over lives? It seems that has already been answered.
