Its veteran's day 2009.
Again we are at war.
Someone that graduated from one of my high School's was killed this week in Iraq. His Humvee flipped. He was sitting on top.
It seems such a waste to put our military at risk for every pot shotting cook to try to take them out. So we run humvees up and down the territory.
Our mission in Afghanistan started out to get Osama Bin Laden. Now we are there to seems to be a change in the mission. We are after the Taliban, their drug trade and rebuilding a country with infrastructure that doesn't want it. Again we think know best.. I hate that attitude.
In the US we are having to deal with our own fundamentalists. Will it ever end? Captured by the grip of an entire TV network these folks do not listen to reason because they heard it from Rush. They spew out crap that they are sure is true but was mainly designed to get people to fear and by extension hate.
We really do not need to waste our resources and the blood of our strongest in a far away land. We need to think of our military as part of the agency they serve.. the department of DEFENSE. I don't think the military is the proper agency to give countries new governances. We should not be training the world's policemen or training the world's armies.
Love to All.. Pat
