Shame on WP. Why the heck do they care what CAIR thinks or says? I’m so sick of what this Country has become.
I saw a number a few months back here on FR. Hopefully, I can find it again. Will post it if/when I do. Good question.
LOL, “perhaps” just a tad over the top.
Thank you for your response. Appreciate it.
Yes, I too have seen a number of “leaders” knuckle under for expediencies’ sake. Saw more than a few during my hitches and afterward.
Thank you for your service as well.
It was just the though that came to mind when I read the story....as you said, unknown in this case, but I’d give him the benefit of the doubt...fighting and losing men to muslims, I wouldn’t put them in the same catagory of being religious or spiritual and would say no if told to...thats standing up for your beliefs and too hell with being politically correct..PC will kill us all..scre* them all. Thank you for being a defended of us all.
Thank you, but I probably do not deserve that gratitude in the sense you convey it. You implied you are now incountry as a civilian DOD'er, so our circumstances may be similar. I was not in uniform or on active duty.
Rather like you, as a civilian DOD'er, my risk was limited to ordnance lobbed over the wire, driving an up-armored SUV on the highways every few weeks, flying unarmed over bad guy land in U.S. military aircraft or in a POS third world discarded aircraft - and my everyday wintertime favorite - wondering if the non-U.S. personnel inside the wire who were wearing cheap, bulky parkas were packing bombs. On several occasions, they were.
You and I know the folks that deserve our nation's thanks are those that went out, and still go out every day with the specific intent of confronting the bad guys; especially those that had their lives and families changed forever during those excursions.
Contractors who free up the "shooters" so they can do their job should be honored for their service as well.
So if you please, "Thank you for your service"
