As the war on military recruiting offices escalates, I find myself wondering if anybody out there in these wonderful United States of America is really paying attention.
It was one thing when left-wing zealots were just standing outside recruitment centers on the west coast. It was one thing when they tried to boot recruiters off of Berkeley's campus but now they have gone too far. Is anyone naive enough to believe that the bombing of the NYC recruiting center was a coincidence. These crazies are now taking to bombing their own military and I don't see any public outrage. It has barely gotten any media attention.
Combined with the protesters who stand outside at military funerals, I am beginning to think that our troops face more danger here than they do in Baghdad.
Is this how we repay our troops for the sacrifices they have made? Some gave arms and legs. Some gave their hearing or their sight. Some gave their lives but every single military family has sacrificed time with their loved ones so that we can live the lives that we have grown accustomed to.
Instead of sending care packages and bunt cakes we are now sending our military personnel bombs and hatred. Now our military has to worry about the war on terror and the war on recruitment which has been launched against them in our own country. I just don't get it.
If I had the money, I would travel the country and give these nuts more than a piece of my mind. Hey Uncle Jim, you in?
Oh, and by the way lady, the military tells the truth. Those who enlist do sign their names and know what they are getting into. They put a gun in your hands, you can't expect not to be shot back at. Do something productive, go home and knit, bake a pie or make a blanket and send it to Iraq.
