I finally got around to sending a birthday card to my nephew. Yeah, I know I'm a little late, but I wanted to write him a letter and wasn't really sure what to say. I wanted to tell him how proud I was of him that he volunteered to serve his country. I also wanted to tell him that despite what he may be hearing the majority of Americans support the president and the war. This is really driving the liberal media and the rabid leftists nuts.
I can remember when I was in Viet Nam.
You were in Viet Nam? No shit?
Yup. But since I didn't kill any women or children or burn villages like John Fonda Kerry, I don't have anything to brag about. I was in the Navy for four years and I spent a lot of time in Viet Nam. That's it. I'm not a war hero.
Anyway, I can remember when I was in Viet Nam I would see pictures of these peace activists demonstrating in the streets and it was right after Tet that the media started turning. I think that was when journalism started going down the shitter. That's when we started seeing editorializing on the front page instead of news. That really pissed me off! And thanks to people like John Fonda Kerry who testified about many made up atrocities, the anti-war crowd started calling us baby killers. That hurt.
It's really funny that after eight years of a draft dodger, the Dimocrats all of a sudden think military service is necessary to be commander-in-chief. It's more important to have a war hero than someone who served in the National Guard. The draft dodger ran against two war heroes, Bush and Dole, and it didn't matter then. Why now?
I told him about the moonbats over at the Dimocratic Underground who were reacting with glee that Pat Tillman died. They were calling him a dumb jock and said he got what he deserved.
This just disgusts me to no end. These people hate Bush so much that they delight in the deaths of people who are defending the country. How sick is that?
I hated Bill Clinton, but I was not happy about the deaths in Somalia. I think we should have bombed the living crap out of them after that. I did not like to see us leave with our tails between our legs. That's what happens when you have a president who's a pussy.
And yes, I know, we turned tail and ran out of Beirut when Reagan was president and the ragheads bombed the Marine barracks. We should have sent a few missiles up the Beka'a Valley as a going away present. But Reagan redeemed himself by winning the Cold War. Clinton just went back to his office and got a blowjob.
I did not delight at the sailors who died on the USS Cole. They were Americans. It doesn't matter who the president is or how much you hate him taking joy in the deaths of Amercan military personnel is just sick. The assholes who spew out all this crap do not deserve to be Americans. Maybe they could move to the workers paradise of Cuba.
It must really piss them off that they are calling Iraq Viet Nam, but their anti-war protests are not even close to being the size of the ones in the 60's and 70's and the signs you see these fuckwits carry pretty much tell you what kind of people they are. They want American soldiers to die in Iraq.
I told my nephew that no matter what he hears, that in spite of the liberal media and the ravings of frothing lunatic leftists, the majority of Americans are still supporting the president and the war. This only causes these people to rant and rave even more. They're getting so bad they may need rabies shots.
I mostly wanted to tell him just how proud I was of him.
And I did.
