Well that post got deleted before I could make a statement. Maybe I should have gotten offended by it, but I didn't. The sad truth of the matter is, Tim's family has to see that stuff every single day with groups like Code Pink and W.B.C. protesting outside the entrance to Bethesda almost 365 days a year. Awful choice of venues, just like that young man's comments. But hey, it's a free country right? What SSS-whatever doesn't seem to realize though, is that as a 24 year old male in this country, he would be in one of the first groups to be called into action if it weren't for brave men like MSGT Love fighting this "unethical war" so he doesn't have to. No matter what your views on it, war is inevitable. This war that is going on right now would still be going on even if a volunteer military didn't exist in this country. The only difference would be that your husbands and sons and people like SSMDS would be out there in the trenches instead of or along with the squared-away warriors who are out there risking their lives as we speak. Instead of Tim coming home in the condition he's in, it could be SSMDS or one of his buddies. But whatever. As long is there is war, which will be until the end of time, there will be people who protest war. That's just life I guess. Hopefully this post won't get deleted. I don't want to put this kind of a spin on Tim's prayer thread, but I just felt like this needed to be said.
Praying for Tim, Jen, the kids and the whole family. God bless you all.
