Some Mothers Son

sarettah - I have to ask why you posted this?

There is no doubt that war is hell, at it's most base the trading of lives for real estate ...
But that solider who made the supreme sacrifice for their country (and not just sons but daughters too) has my support, utmost respect, admiration, honor and gratitude

Beyond that as sad as it is, that solider who made the supreme sacrifice has worked to ensure the well being, prosperity and peace that may follow this conflict. That solider has made the supreme sacrifice so that countless others may live in peace

They gave their lives for what they believed in, they have the courage of their convictions - again for that I give my utmost respect, admiration, honor and gratitude - for their families my deepest sympathies and condolences

I wish the world was different, that we didn't have to fight for what we believe in or to liberate others or to stop unacceptable practices

I really believe that it's things like you posted here that help cause some of the misunderstanding that leads to the awful protests and conflicts we have here and around the world. A blind look at horror without considering the things I have touched on in this post

Yes War is awful .......... but the alternatives are even worse. To sit by and just watch ......

and that America flag you have as your icon can be seen as insulting especially at a time when the USA is at war, you have the symbol of our nation with cartoon characters on it

My flag wasn't made for someone to put cartoon characters on or to be made light of, especially when Americans are fighting and dying
