Re: to the lefts and rights
I know we don't expect our elected politicians or the press to undrestand war, but I can't rightfully understand why anyone would publically riducule our military in a time of war. Reminder: We are in a state of war. Every one of the accusations could have undergone internal investigations with the same outcomes but there are those who wish to gain by marginalizing our troops and country.<br /><br />I am confused how we are able to equate a dirty koran (that never happened mind you) to cutting a mans head off with knife, while he begs for his life. When people endevour to engage in terrorism, and are subsequently apprehended, they are not entitled to special diets, prayer mats, korans, etc. Their acts insult civilized society, and in participating, forfeit all but human rights. In this case, it is their religion that has spawned this terrorism, why would we encourage and support this behavior? Granted this is supposedly a *******isation of Islam. Are catholics allowed to wear crusafixes while interned? It is a double standard. But consistant with the anti-catholic philosphy prevalent in todays America. We are to bend over backwards for terrorists religious rights while we try to erase any catholic symbolizm(Happy holidays), or exercise thereof. (can't utter a prayer in a football huddle etc.)<br /><br />I think that we should stand up for our brothers and sisters and our leaders. If someone gets out of line, we handle it internally. It is interesting how some have put themselves in a position where our defeat is the onlyt way for them to gain. And therefore undermine the efforts of those who have the most on the line. This is un-american. Yea, like it or not, we are at war. Loose lips sink ships. How many died in the Newsweek misreporting? The right to voice opinions mean spit when they result in others deaths. But there are those who hold themselves and their opinions in higher regard than others lives. (politicians and public figures) When we liken our soldiers to Nazi's and our prisons to goulags people die. Where is Cindy when soldiers die for NO reason other than retrebution for inflamitory language?<br /><br />We are not perfect, but we have committed incredible amounts of resources to benefit those who have lived under tyrany. What we do to our military in the name of political correctness will ensure defeat. Fostering the hatred of America has been a policy for some since Vietnam. Having soldiers die for sour grapes is unacceptable. War should not be a theater for partisian politics.
