I don't have to "like" the reason why my husband is over there. He believes in why he is there. He sees the good things that happen. He sends me pics of the children waiting in line when him and the other guys pass out something simple like a writing pen. He hears the thank yous from the people over there. He also knows that by shooting that insurgent he just saved his buddies life. He has a million reasons why he thinks he should be there. And a million more for why he should go back. Those reasons are good enough for me. I don't care what anyone else says. As long as he believes in why he should be there, I believe in why he should be there. If he doesn't come home to me, I know that at least it's because he was doing what he thought was right, not what other people think is right. So to all of you out there that wanna say these men are dying for nothing, why don't take the time to first ask them what they think they are dying for? I'm willing to bet they can also give you their own reasons. So know that when you say something like that 1) It's a lie, there is a reason 2) you're talking without first understanding what your talking about 3) you should be thanking these men and women, if it comes down to it these are the men and women that will fight for your freedom to be able to say such ignorant things and finally 4) know that you are making the lives of the families of these men and women more difficult, you are hurting the children of these soldiers in way that the insurgents could not so what does that say about you?
