Exactly.
WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS?
"Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or
was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our
shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all
over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered
that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac
from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children
die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or
didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was
"desecrated" when an overworked American soldier
kicked it or got it wet?
Well, I don't. I don't care at all.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in
and repents for incinerating all those innocent people
on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle
East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession
of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.
I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is
sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed
through his gurgling, slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq
come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their
own religion by hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up
in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within
range of their suicide bombs.
I'll care when the American media stops pretending that
their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from
international law instead of the United States Constitution's
Bill of Rights.
I'll care when Clinton-appointed judges stop ordering my
government to release photos of the abuses at Abu Ghraib,
which are sure to set off the Islamic extremists just as
Newsweek's lies did a few weeks ago.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine
roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know
this: I don't care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi
prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a
college hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when
he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped,
you can take it to the bank that I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a
prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my
tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being
"mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of
hearts that I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's
spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy
Crack Corn and -- you guessed it....
Especially today!
Exactly.
Rob, well said and you guessed it..."I dont care either" I was just told the other day that I am a bad parent due to the fact that I let 2 of my son's join the US Army recently and I think you have met both of them on one of the Dam Runs. My son's reply to that was "FREEDOM ISN"T FREE". I am just glad they did NOT follow in my foot steps (55 Delta, EOD To The Bone)...
"God Bless America"
GREAT THREAD!!!!!
Good one. I could give a rats ass about them or their cult either.

Just out of curiosity how did you respond to being called a "bad parent"
because your two sons want to proudly serve their country?
I'm pretty sure I would have blown a gasket...
That just makes my blood boil....

YES ! ! I blow-up! ! but very calmly I asked how they felt the day of 911? their answer was basically "Lets Kick Some Ars and never let this happen on American soil again". BUT ! ! ! now they say the war has gone on toooooo loonnngggg and now our kids are dieing. I told them that you and 1/2 of the American people who feel like this need to get the F*CK out of our country and try living in a 3rd world country if you do not like the price of FREEDOM ! ! We all are guilty of taking our everyday lives for grated. It's time to appreciate and be thankful for the things we have been given and the cost of this "FREEDOM".
"Support Our Families" who are supporting us.
Some people never cease to amaze me...
Kudos to your sons for doing something that they believe in...
and congratulations to you for raising some very
brave young men....
