good
reading for everyone in the USA who listens to the
nightly news. . .
For
those of us who spent time in the military, believe in our
military and support the men and women of our military, read
on............. ~
John Glenn (DEMOCRAT) said this

It should make you think a little:
There
were 39 combat related killings in Iraq in January.
In the fair city of Detroit
there were 35 murders in the
month of January. That's just one American city,
about as deadly as the entire war-torn country of Iraq . When some
claim that President Bush shouldn't
have started this war, state the following:
FDR
(DEMOCRAT) led us into World War II. Germany never
attacked us ; Japan
did. From
1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost ... an
average of 112,500 per year.
Truman
(DEMOCRAT) finished that war and started one in Korea North
Korea never attacked us From
1950-1953, 55,000 lives were lost ... an
average of 18,334 per year. John
F. Kennedy (DEMOCRAT) started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.
Johnson
(DEMOCRAT) turned Vietnam
into a quagmire. From
1965-1975, OVER 58,000 lives were lost ..
an average of 5,800 per year. Clinton
(DEMOCRAT) went to war in Bosnia without UN or French
consent. Bosnia never attacked us He
was offered Osama bin Laden's head on a platter three times by Sudan
and did nothing. Osama has attacked us on multiple
occasions since 1973. In
the years since terrorists attacked us, President Bush
has liberated two countries, crushed the Taliban, crippled
al-Qaida, put nuclear inspectors in Libya , Iran , and, North
Korea without firing a shot, and captured a terrorist who
slaughtered 300,000 of his own people. And the Democrats
are complaining
about how long the war is taking.'PULL OUT!' says
Hillary and Obama! But Wait,
There's more! It
took less time to take Iraq than it took Janet
Reno (DEMOCRAT)
to take the Branch Davidian compound. That was
a 51-day operation..
We've
been looking for evidence for chemical weapons
in Iraq
for less time than it took Hillary Clinton (DEMOCRAT) to find
the Rose Law Firm billing records.
It took less time
for the 3rd Infantry Division and the
Marines to destroy the Medina
Republican Guard than
it took Ted Kennedy to call the police after his Oldsmobile sank at
Chappaquiddick.
It took less time
to take Iraq
than it took to count the votes
in Florida
!!!
Our
Commander-In-Chief is doing a GREAT JOB!
The Military morale is high!
The biased media
hopes we are too ignorant to realize the
facts! But Wait. There's
more!
JOHN GLENN (on the
Senate floor - January 26, 2004)
Some people still don't understand why military personnel
do what they do for a living. This exchange between Senators John
Glenn and Senator Howard Metzenbaum is worth reading.
Not only is it a pretty impressive impromptu speech,
but it's also a good example of one man's explanation
of why men and women in the armed services do what
they do for a living.
This IS a typical,
though sad, example of what some who have
never served think of the military. Senator Metzenbaum
(speaking to Senator Glenn): 'How can you run
for Senate when you'v e never held a real job?'
Senator Glenn (
D-Ohio): 'I served 23 years
in the United States
Marine Corps. I served through
two wars. I flew 149 missions. My plane was hit
by anti-aircraft fire on 12 different occasions. I was
in the space program. It wasn't my checkbook, Howard;
it was my life on the line. It was not a nine-to-five
job, where I took time off to take the daily cash
receipts to the bank.'
'I ask you to go
with me . . as I went the other day...
to a veteran's hospital and look those men ...
with their mangled bodies, in the eye, and tell THEM they didn't hold a
real job! You go with me to
the Space Program at NASA and go, as I have
gone, to the widows and Orphans
of Ed White, Gus Grissom and Roger Chaffee... and you look those
kids in the eye and tell them that their DAD'S
didn't hold a real job.
You
go with me on Memorial Day and you stand in ArlingtonNationalCemetery, where I
have more friends buried than I'd
like to remember, and you watch those waving flags. You stand there,
and you think about this nation,
and you have the gall to tell ME that those people didn't have a
”\Ãw€ë real job? What about
Metzenbaum?'
For those who
don't remember
During W.W.II, Howard Metzenbaum was an attorney representing the
Communist Party in the USA Now he's a Senator!

it in English thank a Veteran.
