I live in Athens and I don't go to school right now, so I have no other outlet for this. Here we go.
How in God's name can anyone want us to pull troops OUT of Iraq when they are BEGGING us not to leave? Does no one realize how irresponsible this would be?
Here's the lowdown: Iraq is riddled with FOREIGN fighters, who are there to cause as much violence as possible, disrupt the fledgeling Iraqi government, and CONVINCE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO PULL EVERY AMERICAN SOLDIER OUT OF THE REGION. There are, and have been from day 1, far too few troops in country to keep it secure. This is what happens: We sweep through border town A and clear it of insurgents. Meanwhile, most of the upper echelon types have moved on to Town B. When the Coalition Forces move on to Town B, same story, this time the insurgent leaders have moved to Town C. When we come in to clear Town C out, they've moved back to A and B since the American presence there is minimal at best. In addition, these foreign militants keep coming through the borders.
What could the solution to this problem be? The American public needs to be INFORMED, the role the Media should be filling, of what the situation in Iraq actually is. Yes, over 2,000 american militarry personnell have been killed. Guess what you aren't being reminded of daily? 40-60 THOUSAND Islamic militants have been killed by the Coalition of the Willing. Where is the photo collage of their dead bodies forming a picture of Abu Musab Al Zarqawi getting sadamized by an Abrams Tank so I can put it up beside that one of Bush that the left loves to show?
I want to frame it and give it to the woman I work with whose husband was a A.F. Combat Controller. Was. His kids don't have a dad now. How is the Left telling them that he died? In a lost cause war that never should have happened. How are the American People and Politicians proving them right? By screaming every day for the imediate pull out of our Military, which would be the equivalent of the American PEOPLE throwing in the towel and quitting.
Who is this generation of people and Politicians who claim to be American? The answer is simple, but saddening. They are the offspring of the Greatest Generation. They are the Baby Boomers. They are those whow grew up in America's greatest time of prosperity. In their youths they enjoyed all of the advantages of American Freedom, Democracy, and Capitalism. When the time came for them to stand up to tyrrany and oppresion, what happened? Some fled to Canada. Fof the first time in our Nation's history, the term Consciencious Objector became a household phrase. They called those who did stand up babykillers. They dedicated themselves to protesting the Vietnam War, throwing in the towel in their own time. Betraying the valiant among them in one of the most pathetic moments in American History.
Now MY generation has been called on to spread freedom so that children in other countries can have hope. We went to War. We are fighting and dying. We are now standing on the wall. What generation controls the media? What generation votes? Who are the leaders they are voting into office? Baby Boomers. That generation is now steering the nation. There opinions are effectively the only ones that matter, since they are only ones who vote, hold office, and tell others what to think via the media.
STOP LISTENING TO A GENERATION THAT WONT STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES. DONT LET YOUR OWN GENERATION DOWN BY STABBING THEM IN THE BACK AND CALLING FOR IMMEDIATE TROOP PULLOUTS. START VOTING. STOP BEING A SLAVE TO THE MEDIA. THINK FOR YOURSELF. VOTE FOR YOURSELF. ELIMINATE CAREER POLITICIANS WHO ONLY CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN AJENDA.
The next time you see a Soldier, Sailor, Airmen, Marine, Cop, Firefighter, Paramedic, etc, shake their hand. Thank them for doing a job that the last generation didn't thank them for. Start being good citizens and give something back to your country. JFK tried to tell them, but his words fell on deaf ears. "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." This means dont live off of disability and wellfare if you can work. Don't sue someone for serving you hot coffee after you spill it in your lap. Pull up your pants, get a haircut, and speak English in public. If you see Michael Moore, kick him in his panis. Look up the word panis.
Here's a thought, copy and paste this into an e-mail and send to a billion people. Print this out and post it everywhere at your job, school, even your church.
END RANT.
