Thank you, sir, for remembering who has declared war on us. Every year on September 11, I wake up depressed and generally have a bad day every day. Yesterday was no exception, and I place blame not on our the people we are at war with, but on our "leaders" who make no effort to confirm or even acknowledge our enemy. Every year, and this year's anniversary was no different. It was a sad day for me indeed, but I don't know what else to do other than drag myself out of bed and go to work as they have tried to stop me from doing.
This will be the year I stop encouraging my son to join the USMC. Over here, we try our soldiers for killing our enemies. I can accept that one day one or more of us may die fighting for our freedom, but I cannot accept that our politicians try to score points by villainizing the best people our society can offer.
Sometimes it all feels like a losing battle; most of the USA seems to be working against the USA on a daily basis, and that's not even counting our "allies." Our politicians take votes and money from anyone, regardless of their loyalties, and try to offend no one by speaking in softened terms.
As I read another post on another blog this morning, I related very well to the statement: "sometimes I think WE are the extreme minority."
Then I wake up on the 12th, pissed off as ever and it takes me awhile to figure out why. Anger replaces my sorrow, as always, and makes me want to fight.
Yes, I have a boomstick and know how to use it.
Thank you again. Your blog is one of the few I visit regularly.
