Okay, pan... my sister's oldest son (my nephew and god child), and my wife's son (my stepson) are both members of the US military in combat zones, at this moment. I love them both. I fear for their safety.
It is the Christmas season. I do not see either of these two, brave, dedicated, exemplary members of my family, involved as they are in holding up, under the force of arms, or the rest of our armed forces, two governments and societies committed to sharia law, both illegally invaded and occupied, as "defending our freedom", or "keeping us more secure", compared to if they weren't in those countries, and we weren't spending the lives, limbs, and money, and grinding down our forces, to occupy those places.
It would feel as out of place, on this forum, to simply wish them "godspeed", as it would to wish the same, in this holiday season, to a SWAT team "hitting the wrong house". or a contingent of volunteer firefighters training their hoses on a controlled burn, intended to prevent wildfires.
I wish all of them a merry christmas and a "safe trip", we miss them, but believing as I do that their "service" is misplaced, and "in vain", weakening our forces and our country, instead of preserving and protecting it. this is the wrong place to be summoning a "LET's HEAR IT FOR OUR TROOPS", kind of greet.
