With so much going on in the world it is easy to forget that our Soldiers, Airmen, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard are fighting a daily battle against radical Islamists. In an era of Political correctness and a left leaning MSM we get a biased view of the worldview. Well I am here to say to heck with them!
I am proud to say that I support our citizen soldiers (for simplicity I will refer to all military personnel as such). In my neighborhood we have 3 neighbors who have been deployed. One is in Afghanistan, another is temporarily there preparing for a deployment in February, and another making a tour in Iraq. In its entirety the neighborhood is filled with military families; maybe even close to 50%. We live at the back gate of Camp Pendleton, so it makes sense.
I pray for their safety and for their success in defeating those who desire to destroy our way of life. Major Nidal Hasan is but one of, probably, many who constitute a "fifth element." Because of Political Correctness we can't report him, no matter how egregious his beliefs, comments and actions might be. There is more fear of the retribution for the whistleblower than for the perpetrator. What a very sad statement.
Well, God Bless and God Speed to our Citizen Soldiers! And for all the Marines he in our neighborhood, Semper Fi!
