Well it seems my patriotism has stirred up quite a storm. I have but a few questions for the US Bashers. Have you ever been to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo? Have you ever seen the truth or just the selective media broadcasts? Have you ever held the body of a dying child who lost a leg because one of the terrorists you apparently love so much blew up a car in a crowded market in hopes to kill maybe 2 American soldiers but rather killed 25 innocent civilians? I think not! I am willing to bet you have never traveled to one of these war torn countries, seen what I have seen or dealt with what I have dealt with. You sit home and watch your TV and believe in your heart that what they are reporting is the truth rather than sensationalized journalism in order to sell papers. You spout you rhetoric about subject you read about rather than face them first hand. I have seen the heroin in Afghanistan and yes it is a problem to the world that we are working on in the midst of trying to kill these ruthless terrorist. I have never seen the oil fields you say I am fighting for, but I bet you complain about the price of gas too. I personally was present when the mass graves in Bosnia and Kosovo were uncovered, where were you? I fight in what I believe in and that is freedom, do you think the Iraqi people don’t want freedom, or are you basing your opinion on what someone else said? If the US Army asked me to go to Africa and help I would gladly go, unfortunately I am tied up here in Afghanistan right now. Maybe someday you will have the courage to put on a uniform and put your life on the line for others. Until then just remember this quote:
“A coward dies a thousand times, a brave man only once, but once is enough”.
