The best thing you wonderful folks can do for us, is to never forget the reason we are waging this war….and it ain’t for WMD’s or oil.</blockquote> HOOAH! Been there myself, twice. We know and understand the reasons behind this war...about 3000 to start with. It's a damned shame that the point has to be driven home to people who obviously weren't affected enough by the vicious attack on our own soil. It's unbelievable. Keep up the good work, SSGT Medzyk!

The best thing you wonderful folks can do for us, is to never forget the reason we are waging this war....and it ain't for WMD's or oil. The west is under attack by a fanatical interpretation of the quran. This is not new, for there have been 11 <em>other</em> attacks against western ideals, those were known then as the Crusades, as is this battle. Islam wants you dead, for no other reason than you are not islamic. (btw, I refuse to capitalize "islam" if I do not have to, so don't point it out for me) Our efforts so far, has centered most terrorist activity to Iraq and Afghanistan. Which is a far better goal than pushing islam out of France and England once again, as the other Crusades demanded. We have eliminated many thousands of islamic terrorists who all had the same purpose...to kill you wherever you live. As is the nature of a Crusade, this will not be over soon. It will take many years and many lives to push islam back to the ignorant age from whence it sprung from the corrupt cult mind of the child raping Mohammed. I am proud, and honored, to fight for the USA, in our quest for freedom and safety from evil. I thank you for keeping us in your hearts. And remember always....islam wants you dead.

The headline reads..Fatal Bomb That Destroyed Bhutto Homecoming Rigged to Baby. A child about 1 or 2 years old and probably a girl was held up by a man who was trying to hand her to Bhutto. Her clothes were rigged with explosives that would have killed Bhutto had she not stopped to loosen her shoes. This baby never had a chance to live. This is what our troops are fighting against.

Before they changed their minds, they said that thanking the troops was a controversial partisan issue. Wow, just think about that because NBC obviously didn't.

This one did it too. God bless our men/women in the service of the United States military. We are so fortunate to have raised such a fine group. That cannot be said about our elected critters that have failed to pass a funding bill. They should hang their heads in shame and have to apologize to every single member of the military or suffer sanctions of some kind.

I said a simple, "Thank you" and that started a conversation which lasted for more than 20 minutes. We had a great time and when they found out that I had served in the 1st ID in Vietnam, it was like we were old friends. First time I had ever had an Army General shake my hand and wish me a Merry Christmas. I love our troops. God bless America and God bless our military.
