Support our Military.

CJ has the right idea and I support and applaud his efforts to educate the politicians and media, there is not any better or qualified individual to do that then someone who was there. I feel his statements, news releases and information must be heard from as many people and as many sources as possible, only then will we get people to understand the truth.

Perhaps if the blog community takes the stance as I, we just may succeed in getting them to understand that NO our troops are NOT loosing the war. It is high time they woke up to the fact that we have the highest trained, professional military in the world and they are doing the job they are supposed to do, learn from that.

The media, Washington and politicians have never learned anything and this stems from our involvement in Viet Nam and has remained with them to this day.

Our military in that action never lost a battle, never, not once, yet the war was a loss because the politicians and the people at home grew tired of it. How did they think it made us feel, the military engaged in actions that our country had sent us to accomplish when we heard news from home that all was against us?

When our brothers and fellow soldiers would return from leaves telling us they were pelted with eggs and spit upon by the people we were representing it created deep problems that remain to this day. The troops would hear the news and stories of protest from home and carry on because that was what soldiers are supposed to do.

The news from home made the troops feel like hell, moral went out the window in some cases, thoughts of our brothers and sisters in our own families being against us hit harder, but we fought like the dogs of war we were and battles were won. America needs to remember these lessons and learn from history instead of repeating it as we constantly do.

As long as CJ keeps the word and information flowing I will be posting it with hopes that all who read it walk away informed and talk to others, educate the masses and for the sake of our own brothers, sisters, sons and daughters in harm’s way support them, tell them you care.

Yes!! We have to follow CJ's example and all the senior milbloggers who are trying to get the truth out.
Just think - there were only a handful of milbloggers and support bloggers not too long ago. Now I can't read them all in a week!!
There are more of us than they know!
