Something that the liberal mind can never seem to comprehend is that some people will make a willing decision to place their own lives in jeopardy to protect their society. They seem to think that only the stupid or the desperate would choose to serve, whether in the military or as a cop or fireman.
And so they choose to denigrate the motives and actions of those that serve. They think they show they care by keeping a scorecard of the loses, and bemoaning those "unnecessary deaths", because they "know" that all conflicts can solved by "reasonable men". They fail to realize that not all are reasonable, and therefore cannot be reasoned with.
Here in Canada, over the years, the Liberal Party has nearly gutted the military, and the Conservatives have just started the process of re-equiping them. I have no doubt the Obama-crats will have the military budget in their sights, and will attack it, under the guise of cutting waste and cutting the deficit. OMG
Let us remember our armed forces, both military and civilian, and the firemen too, all that stands between us and the savages of this world. And while we think of them let us not forget those civilians who paid with their lives, and made us aware that we could not count on our oceans to protect us from the terrorists of the world.
And when you pray for those good men and women, don't neglect the Canadian forces who have been serving side by side with US forces in Afghanistan.
