Please excuse my lack of names, and links....
Today, in Hudsonville, Michigan they buried a young American soldier.
It is my understanding that a group of babtists protesters who are protesting gay rights were to show up at this funeral and protest gay rights. It
is my understanding that they are saying this is what Americans get when they support homosexuality. (My comments about this come later.)
Well, I had to leave work early today to have my jeep fixed. On my way out of town I noticed a very large contigent of bikers all lined up on a side
road on the outskirts of town. It is my understanding that they are counter demonstrators who sort of protect the family of the fallen soldier. I
saw them lined up with American flags and everything.
I wanted to follow and watch what happened. I wanted to take some photos to show you guys. But I had an appointment to keep, and I had to get back
to work.
I regret this. I should have followed the bikers in my jeep and gave my support. But I fell victem to the capitolist brainwashing that says work is
money etc.
To the bikers who are protecting the families from these stupid hatefull protesters. - "You are true Americans and real brothers. You have my
deepest respect."
To the Families of the fallen who have to endure this hatred. - "There is nothing I can say except that millions of Americans pray for you."
To the anti-gay protesters. - "In a thousand years I will not be able to understand your thinking. You are twisted, sick, perverted, and WRONG. The
young men and women whos funerals you protest at, DIED to give you this supposed right. You have taken this right and perverted it and disgraced
yourselves and your religion and have shown EXACTLY what intolerant bigots you are. YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THIS COUNTRY!"
In conclusion. Many people are against the war and the killing. But do you really know about geopolitical strategy? Do you know about the real
threats we face today? How about in 50 years. We need to protect our interests. We need to take the initiative. In 50 years every country might
have nuclear weapons. What then? The western way of war is to adapt, advance your technology, and take the fight to the enemy. (of today or
tomarrow).
Many think of the U.S. Army as a bunch of poeple we dont know, but they are our neighbors, our our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, husbands,
wives, and best friends. They are fighting for US and for our continued way of life. They are sacrificing EVERYTHING so you can live a normal life.
I pray for them and give them my full support. Please contact your congress to insist we give them the medical and psychological support they NEED
when they get back home.
Love is an illusion - It's all WAR
