awol - you should be ashamed

 abuse

When I was little I heard my Grandfathers talking little about what they did in WWII in the Pacific.  I heard a great more from my Grandmothers and their sisters though, they were each proud of their men and made sure we all knew how great their husbands and brothers are.  I remember them talking proudly about my Grandfathers and their brothers serving in the fight against Japan and Germany and I remember their distrust of Germans and Japanese.  I also remember how they would care for what they had because they learned valuable lessons during the rationing of fuel and rubber and foodstuffs during and shortly after the war. 

What had the biggest impact on me, besides and expectation that I would also serve, was one of a united front with the entire family and Nation committed to victory.I also remember dads returning from Vietnam and the difference in the attitudes.  I was shocked.  Where was the support and respect?  How could someone able bodied NOT fight and contribute?  I didn't get it.  Even at an incredibly young age I was mortified that there exists men weak enough to make the decision to NOT fight.  I hardly ever met an old man that hadn't served and when I did learn of one I was ashamed for him. 

Now we see able bodied men protesting the war and voicing support for our enemies and I am disgusted and ashamed.  I do not understand how these cowards can voice opposition to our Nation's reactions to the Muslim extremists that have killed thousands of our men and women.  If you go back to the 70's, 80's, and 90's (Embassy in Iran, Marine Barracks, US Embassy in Lebanon, Munich Olympic murders, many airline hijackings, cruise ship murders, thousands of kidnappings and torturous murders of White Europeans in the Mid East) you see the dramatic escalation of terrorist's violence against the United States and Western Europe.  And you can see court decisions where much of the blame for the deaths of thousands of our men and woman and some children were attributed directly to terror states like Libya, Iran, Syria, etc...etc... 

Then whammo in 2001 more atrocities were committed but this time ON U.S. SOIL.  Then BAM again in this decade the bombings in England and BOOM the bombings in Spain.Yet we still have ignorance and cowardice prevailing with the liberal socio-commie peace mongering leftists calling the current administration "War Criminals."  <-- While it is necessary to have a balance, I think these undignified AWOL creeps should be ashamed of themselves. 

I'm seeing much of the same problems today I remember from the 70s.  This includes: fuel crisis, starving people in the world, economic woes, leftist power swing, hatred for the military, and even another Jimmy Carter wannabe running for the white house. 

All I can say is OH KRAPP
