Dennis Prager latest article asserts that the “left doesn't support the troops and should admit it” I could care less if they do admit it or not. They are the reason why I love freedom and love this great land of ours.
A few weeks back I was on the Metro train in DC going to my job in Virginia. I always wear my uniform while riding the train so anyone that notices me know that I am in the military. A young lady of college age thanked me for my service and I support the troops yadda, yadda… BUT… I don’t support the war. Now if you know Ole Sarge, the first thing that I did was give the famous smirk (think of Dick Cheney) This is the expression on my face that I normally get when I just heard or read something stupid i.e. from a person or an organization like the NAACP or if I am in a place full of idiots such as my PTA meetings or those stupid sensitivity training that we get in the Government.
I did thank her for her support. However, I questioned her as to why she did not support the war. Her response and this is typical with the left. “Bush lied and he sent kids to die” Before she got off another word I interrupted her. My response was first of all I am a grown ass man raising two girls. My mother doesn’t look at me as her “kid” she sees her son as this man who chose to be a soldier and respects that fact. Second for you to support the troops and not the war is like me saying I support the players of the Washington Redskins because they play for my home-town but not the game of football because of the senseless violence and barbarity of the game.
As Dennis Prager writes
Honest people on the Left need to understand that the two positions are not reconcilable. A German citizen during World War II could not have argued: "The Nazi regime's army is engaged in an evil war of aggression and is slaughtering millions of innocent people, and I therefore completely oppose this war, but I sure do support the Nazi troops."
I continue to stress that it is the who Soldier hate war more than anyone. When duty calls the soldier takes his marching orders goes to battle. You can either pick up and weapon and follow me or you can sit in stands and root for the home team.
Lastly, I told the young lady you might say “war is not the answer”
I say once they hit us on 911……… “There wasn’t any multiple choices on this matter”
I was at the Pentagon when the plane hit…. So this is personal….. Hero!!!!
