Flopping Aces has an excellent piece up that I challenge ALL my readers to read all the way through. I’ve posted about all the things that President Bush has done for this country, but he’s done a lot for the world as a whole as well. And along the way to improving the lives of perhaps billions of people, he’s made a few mistakes. Good for him. It means he’s human.

While our troops do not to deal with the level of ignorance shown during the Vietnam War, we still have to deal with ignorant baffoons who have made their life’s goal to denigrate and minimize our contributions and accomplishments. Why is that? Because if they admit that the military has succeeded, they have to admit that our boss has succeeded. Scientists have not yet isolated a treatment for those suffering from BDS. Until the gene responsible for this refusal to accept and admit obvious successes, BDS will continue and our troops will remain without the public declaration of respect and admiration for their victory.

Just look at the comments under the “Let’s Call It A Victory” post. Not once are the trolls able to pull themselves out of their pits of pessimism and BDS afflicted psychosis to recognize our achievements. 47 comments full of victory admitting avoidance.

Those of you on the email list and longer-term readers have seen my posts about all the good our troops have done. Just click on the “America’s Finest” or “Doing Great Things” categories on the sidebar to read them.

It’s disheartening, as Wordsmith mentions in his post, that there are public figures who are still spreading this myth that the sole purpose of our military is to “bomb people.” Even our own elected politicians accuse us being “cold blooded murder” without apology. They tell the nation that we’re “terrorizing women and children in the night”.

Again, I challenge every one of you to go to Flopping Aces and read the ENTIRE post as well as each link for more information. Your brain will thank you for it.

  4. CJ,

    I was just revisiting my old post and noticed I never thanked you for the link up. So thank you! And thank you for your service as I know you are about to deploy back into theater, yet again. I know you will be one of the good guys out there, representing the best our country has to offer, the perfect ambassador of American exceptionalism.

    • Thank you mucho! I look forward to it, actually. I want to do my part and I think we will do some good, leaving Afghanistan a better place than we found it.
