Those poor families had to dread leaving their families to go to Iraq for weeks then didn't even get to say their goodbyes. It's not right. It's not fair. This country needs our prayers more than ever. Every day. We may have to close our doors to those who honestly want to come here to advance the quality of their lives until we weed out the malcontents. The rebels. The radicals. Yes, we all have rights...to speak freely, to worship as we please, to bear arms, etc. We do not have the right, no matter who we are, what we believe or where we worship to slaughter innocents. There was no reason for the events to have occured at Fort Hood. This man had psychological problems that the military knew about. He was trying to get out of the Military. He said he was harrassed about being Muslim, but he flaunted it by wearing traditional Muslim garb all over a Military post. I know he was born in this country, but his ideals had obviously changed. He'd been under the FBI's eye for 6months. He slipped right through the crack. And THE DC SNIPER was executed and pronounced dead at 9:11pm Tuesday night. 8 yrs after he shot up Washington DC, 1 yr to the day after the tragedy of 9/11. I have mixed feelings about the death penalty. Well, if we're going to have one--use it. If you are absolutely certain a man is guilty (say there were witnesses, DNA, confessions-irefuteable evidence)NO APPEALS. You get executed in 90 days. Why should a man sit on death row for 20 yrs with a color tv, library books, some even have internet access, a warm bed, 3 meals a day. I know people personally who don't live that well. There are so many things in this country that needs to be fixed. Our Military need raises. We are spending FAR more on keeping these criminals alive than the average young soldiers are paid per year!<br /> I apologize Linda, for the rant. I meant just to compliment you on your entry and to thank your son & your family members for serving our country. If I offended you or any of your readers, I certainly apologize...Feel free to delete this "comment" turned into an entry. LOL <br /> As I said your tribute was brilliantly written as ALL your entries are. <br /> Hugs, BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04664491907812846802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495861742496301663.post-24648178363731086762009-11-11T11:07:03.370-08:002009-11-11T11:07:03.370-08:00Lovely tribute.
