So angry...
It's taking all I have to remain calm in the face of so many "thank you's" to our servicemen and women. Yes, I am thankful for them being able to protect us in time of need, sure.
I have 2 friends in the Army who are fighting in this mess. Am I thankful? No. Are they thankful? No. Are they happy? No. It's a job, and you make sacrifices to feed your family and get an education.
I won't argue the necessity of war in general. I won't argue with anyone over the reasons behind THIS war. I've missed so much news about the whole prequel to war that I'm not sure if this even IS a "war", legally.
Just like I tend to stay out of discussions with religious zealots, I will stay out of discussions with warmongers and peaceniks. I am unhappy with the situation for several reasons, and I plan to leave my commentary at that. At least for now.
Times of war make friends into enemies, even on the "same side". I do not need to lose any friends or make any enemies, but if I keep reading certain blogs, I'm sure to speak out against someone, and it's much better to agree to disagree, and abstain from discussion.
So, let's hope (and pray if you like) that this is all resolved soon, and we can begin the fight here at home over what went wrong.
