Why do we ignore most atrocities while reacting with military action to others? <br /><br />On a related note, I live in a major military town where every car dealer, tattoo parlor, and gin joint waves gigantic flags and billboards welcoming home the "heroes" when all they really want to do is pick their pockets.Cathy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08107932375538192094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-9078559924372897062011-05-17T18:53:46.712-07:002011-05-17T18:53:46.712-07:00Awesome post!

The world is a complicated place and I to am not privy to all the information that the government has to base there decisions on, but I hope it was not in vane. <br /> I believe God is in control of all things, and I hope that my sevice to my country will be veiwed as honorable to God.John Patrick Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379938538043189391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-77638010054099039152011-05-17T15:54:53.878-07:002011-05-17T15:54:53.878-07:00Great post, Greg.

I get irritated with emails that are really good ones, but at the end are threats that Jesus won't love you if you're too ashamed to forward it. Those always get deleted. My nephew will be joining the Marines in June. Thank you for your service.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428797675882725547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-82149171751964602812011-05-17T14:58:48.509-07:002011-05-17T14:58:48.509-07:00A few years ago, I did an article on my "main...A few years ago, I did an article on my "main" Weblog about being black e-mailed. Then I did another one. Guess I'm too small-time to make an impression, but I had to have my say that I resented the threats. Not only bad luck, but some para-Catholic superstition that had one of their saints apparently attached to the message.<br /><br />Like you have received, some of these have content that isn't bad. But they spoil it a couple of ways. One is the FWD: FWD: FWD: ad nauseum so the blasted thing is cluttered and difficult to read. The other is the threat that if you don't forward it to your entire address book, you'll miss out, or that Jesus will drown a kitten (well, some sound almost that bad).<br /><br />I never served, but my father was in the Navy in WW2, my brother was in the Marines. A retired Marine sends me "semper fi" stuff, and I send the occasional one to my brother. But most of those don't have fake blessings or threats, just USMC pride.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
