If you hate the military, this one's for you
There are people who hate the military.That’s right.
They hate the war and they hate our troops.
We know they’re out there, and they know who they are.
Here’s a message today to those people from Seth Conner, an Iraq War combat veteran:
As shocking as it may be to radical anti-military haters, the overwhelming majority of young soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines like myself are deeply proud of the choice we made. As shocking as it may seem to the Code Pink crowd, we feel blessed to have been given the chance to defend our nation and be steeled and shaped by those charged with leading us.
Ironically, for people who claim to be “tolerant,” “open-minded,” and “peace-loving,” the Berkeley protestors and their ilk proved just what a sham their operation truly is. If they were really interested in saving the lives of innocents, they would listen to the countless stories veterans bring back from Iraq about pivotal moments of decision that saved lives—both American and Iraqi.
And then Sgt. Conner provides one of those stories…….you can read his entire column, and it’s a great one, here.
