Update

Well, I'm not sure what happened with this whole blogger.com/blogspost.com thing, but it seemed to be down for awhile.

Have any of you ever read any of Arianna Huffington's stuff? Yeah, it makes me want to devote my life to derailing libbies stupid views and opinions. It's as though they're blinded by their own stupidity. And I'm not trying to be mean or anything. It's just that if you read some of this stuff from an unbiased and independent point of view, you realize just how contradicting Democrats can be. One point (and there are many more!) that I find appalling is this: They generally believe we should "bring the troops home". For what? They say it will make America safer, that by waging this war she's become more vulnerable. How so? If we leave now, Iraq will crumble. Syria or Iran will take over. Soldiers deaths would stand for nothing. And the enemy would have won. On top of that, they wouldn't just quit killing people. 911, anybody? Repeat. Over and over. If we don't defeat the enemy on their turf, it'll be on ours. How would you like going to the store and having to worry the entire time about a roadside bomb going off in the intersection? Or being kidnapped and having them videotape you while they cut your head off? Dave Matthews put it pretty nicely..."If you close your eyes because the house is on fire/And think you couldn't move until fire dies/The things you never did, oh, 'cause you might die tryin/cause you might die tryin', you'd be as good as dead ". Here's what the Libs want to do. Have the troops come home...well, just because you turn your back and pretend there isn't an evil presence in the world seeking out helpless people doesn't mean it's not there. Let me just make this little analogy...a person goes to college to become a teacher. They graduate and decide it's time to find a job. Whatever should they do? Try to get on with the fire department? Go work at the water sanitation plant? No. They teach. A person joins the military, knowing full well what the job entails. They graduate basic...time to find a job! Don't despair, though. The government has one just for you! Soldiers are soldiers. IT IS OUR JOB TO FIGHT. And we DON'T COME HOME TILL THE JOB IS FINISHED. Guess what. If we came back to the states, you know what we'd be doing? The same thing we always do in the states...train. What do you think a soldier does every day back home. We wake up and go to work, just like you. Only our work involves going over house clearing techniques, how to stop arterial bleeding, how to disassemble and reassemble a Browning .50 caliber machine gun. So, if we came home, we'd train...and the Dems would have it that we never fought another war...so, all those tax dollars that pay our huge paychecks would be a waste. I spent almost two years in the states training to come here. Why train and not use it? If we don't police the world, NOBODY WILL. We are required to because we're the most competent. These are simple principles. However, it seems as though some people can't understand this. I'm sorry if any of you are Democratic. It must suck being surrounded by idiots.

Anyway, I apologize for that little rampage. I'm engaged to Amy! And I'll be home in September, and out for good by mid January. I'll post here more often now that I know it works. I love you all!
