How could anyone protest war?
I have a few family members in the United States forces. However, none of them are deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
I have heard a lot about the protesters and what I’ve heard, their reactions to this war are about to make me sick. I am shocked that we, the people of the United States, are not standing as one nation.
How can anyone protesting this war support our troops? How can those people not stand behind our country, our troops and those of a few other countries that are fighting in this war for the love of freedom? Why can’t we, the citizens of the United States, have faith in our president and back him up on this important decision he has made? I believe if we had not gone in after them, Iraq, sooner or later, would have attacked us.
If the people protesting against this war do not want freedom, then they should go somewhere like Iraq where there is no freedom. If these people don’t appreciate tahe sacrifice each and every one of the troops and what few countries are making for us, those people don’t deserve their freedom nor do they deserve to live in this country, the land of the free.
I don’t see how anyone in their right mind could turn their back on their country and the people who are fighting for it and the people in it. That’s exactly how Saddam Hussein is, he turns his back on his own people, killing them for no reason. What kind of leadership is that? If Saddam doesn’t have a problem killing his own people, what would make us think he wouldn’t kill us? Shame on you protesters, shame on you.
As for our troops and everyone helping our country, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You don’t know me and you are risking your lives for me and my freedom, and for that, I am grateful. I would like you to know I pray for you and you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you troops for your constant will and your bravery. I pray you will return home soon, safe and sound.
Sincerely,
