WTF?

Finally, I reset the password, one of many, many passwords that float round my head and I frequently get confused. Let the pillow fight begin.

Actually, I was galvanized to post today because of news articles, which I will get to later.

WTF!!! Yes, Thom as we spoke to other day, that is the initial response to your post. Not about the content, because what is said in Obama's speech is a very valid and often forgotten about problem in this country. It seems that the little people always slip through the cracks.

Now, the only issue that I have is Roger. When did he become a US citizen and turn-in his membership the British Empire. I've got nothing against Roger, love his music, but come on. Maybe it was fate that Roger's giant inflatable pig found its way through a sausage grind before being discovered after an impromptu sightseeing tour of the deserts of southern California. If Roger wants to stump for Obama with his giant pig, become a citizen of this great country of ours.

Now, to the news article. I understand what the group Code Pink is trying to say, but I think they are all a bit insane. Great, rally all you want to end the war in Iraq and withdraw the troops. But spells, incantations and witchcraft, give me a F!*@^#%@*#*#%^@%#*#)($&king break. Their attempts to make a legitimate statement have crossed in the realm of ridiculous, all that is missing is a big top tent and dancing elephants.

I do not know how protesting a Marine Corp recruiting station is making your point, other than preventing the Marines from recruiting that day. They are going to get young men and women coming into their recruiting station to volunteer, if necessary, their lives to uphold the greatest traditions the United States offers. Yes, VOLUNTEER. Every member of the armed forces signs the line at the both of their contract to enter the Marines, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force or the Coast Guard. If ninety year old grandmothers want to enlist, great more power to them, but if they sign that line they better be able to pull their own weight and support, care for and drag out of a firefight the men or women standing next to them. Don't use this publicity stunt to make a fool or ass out of yourself. It's just sad, and almost makes me embarrassed that you are the type of people that I have served for the last eleven years to protect. Get a clue! Find a better forum to make your statement.

And the only question I have to ask is that for your great right to speak your mind as you see fit, just WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SERVE YOUR COUNTRY AND UPHOLD THE LAWS AND TRADITIONS THAT EVERY FIGHTING SOLDIER, AIRMAN, SAILOR, MARINE OR COASTIE THAT HAS EVER LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES IN THE GREATEST SACRIFICE A HUMAN CAN GIVE AND HAVE DONE SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING OF OUR HISTORY AS CITIZENS OF UNITED STATES?
