A lot of people are asking “Why?” some very brave Seals are going to trial.  But this doesn’t surprise me. Admit this is my opinion and is colored by the fact that remember my fellow citizen who opposed the war screaming in my face and calling me “baby killer”, and tolerated it because realized they didn’t know who I was, nor did they understand the concept of Duty, Honor, Country. The sad thing is they still don’t. Was encourage when this begin this time around those same type of people decided that demonizing individual service men wasn’t going to be a very good tactic. But didn’t believe it would last. Matter of fact have been surprised it has lasted as long as it has. These young men especially, but also their fellow service members need all the support that can be generated. Please remember those who are now moving the political outrage of the war to direct attacks upon our troops are the same kind who have existed before and in my war when they won over the politicos and we abandoned the good people of South Vietnam have never apologized for the millions of deaths that resulted immediately, nor for willingness of others to continue to kill and maim our troops over the following decades because they can point to that decision and say “see, they wont stay the course, all we have to do is bloody enough of them.” I question if we would have had a Beirut, a Cole, a Kosovo, or a Desert Storm if that decision hadn’t been made.  I am pleading for those of you who recognize this outrageous and egregious travesty step up and let your voices heard. There were some and their parents who didn’t during my war because it was political correct, please don’t make this same mistake again. I am a veteran, a son of a WWII veteran, grandson of a WWI veteran, and the Greatgreatgrandson of two Civil war Union soldiers.. I know this isn’t unique but recently have heard their voices calling out from the graves asking me “When are you going to remember your oath and find you voice”? Well I beg your forgiveness and borrow an answer given by a fellow solider on a cold winter day “NUTS! There is nothing about war that is in any way political correct and to expect so is more than foolishness it’s down right stupid and yes I am calling those who would think for even a moment that putting these Seal's on trial are stupid. Political Correct---NUTS!
