I was a member of the Air Force during Enduring Freedom and I was in the Army during Gulf war 1 I have made a lot of sacrifices for my country. I have spent months in places like Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Kuwait, UAE, Iraq and many others away from home and my wife; I have lived in the worst condition imaginable, I have eaten the worst foods, I sweated through the hottest weather and shivered through the coldest rain and for what? To give all of you the right to
[hr]
and complain about a war that you will sit back in your chair and watch it on CNN. As you make your comments on the war and bash the President I want you to ask yourself what have I done for my country? What gives me the right other than where I was born to make any kind of a negative comment? Just because you aren’t a republican does not mean you should disrespect the President. It is really hard for all of you liberals to follow a President who does what is best for the Country and is an honest man. Someone who brought back HONOR and RESPECT to the office of the President. I know it is hard for you to understand these words but those of us who have served live by them. When I sit back and read some of the post where people say the Bush is week or he has another agenda it makes me sick. Do you not realize that Saddam has had 12 years and 16 resolutions to disarm and he has done nothing! Instead of saying Bush wants to go to war why not say Saddam wants war? He is the one who refuses to disarm? Do any of you remember the USS Cole or the Embassies that were bombed? What did former president Clinton due when all of these things went on? NOTHING not one thing! Now that we have a president who has some balls and is willing to back up his words “you are either with us or with them” the liberals are in an uproar. How can anybody in their right mind say it is not time to go to war? Don’t you think if we would of done something every other time Osma bombed something 9/11 could have been prevented?? If someone breaks into your house and you kill him or her with a shotgun and the story is on the news don’t you think the next person who wants to rob your house is going to think twice?
Then there was the comment that “ so are you saying Clinton had to clean up for the useless ex president Bush!!!! With that said, there will be someone to clean up after every president right? We are approaching our 2nd war with father and son, quite a coincidence. But in between that we were all enjoying vacations and lots of $$$$...
I guess it is hard for a Liberal to see the truth. While you enjoyed your vacation and $$$ the military and the department of defense was cut more than any other time in history.
Clinton also had very little to due with the boom. While most American voters consistently give presidents credit for good times, and blame them for bad times, any economist will tell you that the president usually has very little influence over the course of the U.S. economy. That course is mainly dictated by cyclical and international forces beyond the president's control, as well as by monetary policy, which is set not by the White House but by the Federal Reserve Board. Mr. Clinton has found it easy to take advantage of this popular misconception because the boom of the 1990s has coincided with the five and three quarter years he has been in office, even though the recovery actually started under President George Bush. But the economic growth, high employment and surging stock markets of the last few years have more to do with low international inflation, the strong dollar, and the remarkable transformation of the U.S. private sector that began under President Ronald Reagan, than with any action initiated by Mr. Clinton.
If Mr. Clinton had had his way, the economy today would almost certainly be in worse shape, and the balanced budget for which he likes to take credit would still be a long way off.
So sit back in your chairs and turn on CNN and watch us. We are the ones who give all for our Country. We are the ones who get chills every time the National Anthem is played. We are the ones willing to sacrifice our lives so you have the security and freedom to carry on with your way of life. GOD BLESSES AMERICA AND ALL OF US WHO SERVE.
