I will rarely ever post any type of political comments because things can get ugly fast if you don't have the same exact ideals as someone else. This will be a first, and probably last post of this kind, but I have some things I need to get off my chest.
Osama Bin Laden was killed on Sunday. The man who terrorized millions of people was taken down with a bullet from a gun of a trained Navy Seal. When I first heard the news, I must admit that there was a primal feeling that welled up inside of me. I was happy that this piece of dirt was gone, wiped from the face of this Earth. I thought of all those affected by the tragedies created by this one piece of dirt, this mass murderer. I prayed that they would somehow find solace knowing that this piece of dirt was erradicated by men & women who trained for years just for those 40 minutes. I was proud of them because they did something I could never do. I thought of the person who had this piece of trash in his sites. What went through his mind? Was this piece of dirt scared or happy knowing the end was coming? Then it hit me like a ton of bricks...
This piece of dirt went from mass murderer to martyr in a second. He got the ending he wanted. Those of his followers who are still alive will even be more determined to hurt Christians, Jews, even Muslims & citizens of democracy because of this act of revenge created by the USA. Have we opened up Pandora's box? Time will tell, but I have an uneasy feeling that we are headed down a very scarey road. These extremist know only hate and murder. They are the most unrelenting people who will stop at nothing to get their way, and they want to get rid of freedom, which means we will all have to fight to keep our way of life and our ideals. Are you ready to defend yourself and the things you hold dear? Would you be able to kill someone else if they threatened you and your freedoms? I'd like to think I would be able to, but I pray that I will never have to find out.
Something else amazed me yesterday. You would think that people would come together in a time like this, and yes for a few minutes they did in NYC, D.C, and other big cities around the country. By the time I got off the computer last night, there were people arguing in such a fevered pitch it was almost laughable. The D's & R's were going at it and it was ridiculous. President Obama signed the order, gave our troops the go ahead to try and capture, but, kill if necessary, this piece of trash. Give credit where credit is due already.
He signed a piece of paper and that is where is credit ends. The rest of it goes to the troops who trained for months, sacrificed time away from their families & worked their butts off, all for this mission. They looked into the face of pure evil and blew if off. Literally, blew his face off.
These men & women sacrificed their own lives to get rid of the most wanted man in the world and yet there are arm chair QB's pitching fits over who should get credit for this? Really? You mean to tell me that instead of being grateful for our troops sacrifices to keep us safe you are going to blog and post statuses on your FaceBook about how "your side" deserves the credit? Really? I have never been more disappointed in my fellow countrymen before yesterday. What I saw was ugly, ungrateful & disrespectful of the thousands if not millions of people who have had to endure hardships because of this piece of trash. This was a win for all of us, and I don't care what "side" you vote for. Last I checked our volunteer armed forces don't wear an "R" or a "D" on their helmets. They are AMERICANS first and foremost. These men and women give up so much to keep our flag flying, our right to believe in whatever religion (or not) we choose, to keep our children safer and this is the thanks they get? Really?
While you didn't get a very good nights sleep last night because your dog kept pushing you to the edge of your bed, just remember that all over the world there are troops sleeping in mud & sand to defend our way of living. If you get your lunch today and you start complaining that the food was "luke warm" or a little salty, just remember that there are troops eating meals in little pouches, without the option of it being heated up, not knowing when they will have their next meal.
Got a little sniffle or allergies acting up? Somewhere in this world are troops who are being shot at, some of them being wounded and they are praying that medical help comes to them before it's too late. They volunteered to defend this great nation, and I truly hope that we, as AMERICANS, get over this nonsense of bickering and playground bullying. The face of evil was blown off yesterday, but somewhere in the shadows is another rat waiting to take it's place. Quit being so ugly and have a little humility and be grateful for those who stand to protect us.
Many people in the military know the best way to defeat the enemy is to divide & conquer. Even though this piece of trash is dead, he is still dividing us as a nation. WAKE UP people and don't give them the satisfaction! We are better than this.
ONE nation
under God
INDIVISBLE
With LIBERTY &
justice FOR ALL.
