hello all! yes.....it's me. again. but anyways, i think some of our fellow americans
are missing one huge point. our freedom is in danger as we speak. that's why i'm over
here in afghanistan right now. there is already a war going on. you people jus choose
not to talk about it b/c it's not all over the news and what not. to people back in
the states afghanistan is a dead issue. jus try tellin that to one of the marines on
post at night while he has tracer rounds flyin over the compound. do you guys get
it?!? we will never be free from those terrists. like one person mentioned.....there
whole thought process is that this is a holy war. that they will be put higher in the
heavens fer the acts they commit against our country. we can either go to a full
fledged war, and yes people will die, or we can jus sit around and pretend like
evrything's ok. then people will die in some bombing or highjacking..etc. the point
is, we are all in danger. whether you're in the military on the front lines, or just
on your way to work. people will die no matter what. but at least this way it will be
a war fought on their soil affecting their homes and cities and that way the only
people who will die will be the crazy-brave(military). in my mind that is why i am
here doing this job, so no one else my family will have to. so none of my frenz or
family will have to put up with the pain and suffering i have. i would rather put
myself in harms way and be able to say that the people of our country can sleep warm
in their beds b/c of what we're doin out here. i dunno.... you guys can choose either
way, it's not my job to dictate yer choices( i guess then it wouldn't be a choice
would it? haha). i'm jus sayin that we'll continue to get attacked and innocent people
will die either way. i would jus rather it be me than you. like said....that's what
we're here for. i guess that's about all i have to say, jus remember to look at this
from all points of views before you jus jump on the band wagon. the decision you make
jus might have an affect on all of us. much luv and god bless.....
