Each time I started out being polite and diplomatic as an Army Officer's Wife SHOULD be and each time I had to "delete" and start over again. This time I'm simply going to let fly...Queen Cait Unleashed (sounds good for an album of kick-ass Texas wimmen oriented music doncha think?)<BR/><BR/>Okay, here's the deal: We don't have "mandatory military service" in this country. Each and every Soldier signed up of his/her own free will. Sure, some Soldiers sign up for the educational benefits. Some sign up for the extra money to augment their civilian salaries. Most sign up because they feel a calling to protect and defend the lifestyle and bene's that come from being a CITIZEN of this country. <BR/><BR/>Enlistments skyrocketed after Sept 11th. Retired officers and enlisted soldiers formed up at Recruiting stations because they knew their knowledge and experience would be needed - if nothing else they knew they could help keep the young'un's (thoese fresh out of boot camp or OCS)alive during wartime - they knew WAR was coming and they came back to serve again.<BR/><BR/>Check out armytimes.com and read the lists of those who have given their lives in service. This isn't a "young man's war" or a "young woman's war". In any given week there's at least two or three who are well over 40 - men and women who have been there and done that. Educated Soldiers -particularly from the Army Reserve and National Guard - who chose to sacrifice the financial rewards of their civilian jobs and the time (that precious time) away from their spouses and children, to answer a call from their country. Our country is losing some of our older, highly educated, and seriouly educated leaders right along with our younger and potential-filled young Soldiers.<BR/><BR/>As hard as it was to send my Warrior to Iraq I did so knowing he could, and did, make a difference in the lives of the Iraqi people. Same goes for our Soldiers in Afghanistan. He (along with Floozie's Warrior) did a helluva job under the scorching sun (kinda like our troops in N. Africa in WWII). He (along with Floozie's Warrior) gave a country that had been beaten down for over 30 years a reason to hope for better days. It took SMART, EDUCATED and COMPASSIONATE SOLDIERS to do this...it takes SMART, EDUCATED, and COMPASSIONATE SOLDIERS to continue to do a dirty job when the media back home, and certain goober politicians, make every available effort to sabotage their efforts.<BR/><BR/>I would ask "Jon Carry" to kiss my Texas A$$ - but before I did I'd require that he present a health certificate to ensure I wouldn't be exposed to a terminal case of "Democratic Dumbass Disease".<BR/><BR/>Next time I'll tell you how I really feel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27557567.post-1162741713775102112006-11-05T09:48:00.000-06:002006-11-05T09:48:00.000-06:00A little easy on him, weren't you? :)Thanks for t...A little easy on him, weren't you? :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for telling him off, cuz I still can't see straight when I think about it.Flohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09399341816112338080noreply@blogger.com
