If,you are still with me at this point,re-read the first article.It is very important what this article doesn't say.Oh,it dances around it,but NOWHERE DOES IT SAY THAT EVERYONE ON BOARD THIS HELICOPTER IS A U.S. SOLDIER.It says that the pilots were Marines,that it was a US Marines helicopter.But it does not list the passengers specifically as soldiers.
I ask,why not?Is it possibly because they weren't?Is our government and military trying to imply that our very brave and patriotic troops are dying on military missions when they are instead dying escorting civilians to and from jobs?Is that the troops important missions?If it is...why not say so?!?
U.S.A. civilian business helicopters are being shot down,the American people inside executed by being shot in the back of the head.Shouldn't it be important news back home?Front page news?24/7 cable news networks blabbing on and on about it news?
Why isn't it?
The only option that my small weak liberal head can think of is that it is because the government is afraid we wouldn't like nor understand the true answer.This is the only reason I can think of for keeping something so pure and heroic as our troops guarding their fellow Americas a secret.
And what secret could be so worth not telling?Again,my pre disposed mind can only think of is that it is all about the Benjamins.It isn't about WMDs or making Iraq a free democratic nation.It's all about making a big fat $$$$$ profit over there....and this just makes me sick.
And what makes me even sicker is the way the news and the other media outlets are letting them get away with it!
You and your household,you can do as you like.But as for me and my house hold,I choose America:
Live Free Or Die Don't Tread On Me

To travel with the unawakened makes the journey long and hard
and is as painful as traveling with an enemy.
But the company of the wise is as pleasant as meeting with friends.
Follow the wise, the intelligent, and the awakened.
Follow them as the moon follows the path of the stars...
I find it very plausable that they were transporting business people. I also agree that the almighty $$$$ is playing much too large of a role in this debacle. It is very hard to tolerate the numbers that are dying over there, even though there are those who like to point out that they are no where near the numbers of Vietnam, I think any dying is intolerable.
I have to say though, that your last several lines, hopefully jestful, and not so serious sound very NRA, redneck Bible toting, narrow-minded conservative, scary. I think we all choose America and the values held here, but you sound somehwat like if we don't "choose" America and are all gung-ho then we are against America. Was that the meaning of your,"...as for me and my family....etc." I am confused.
My last lines are what I feel about the sprirt of America...truth...freedom...all men are created equality...democracy.These are values that I am willing to hold to the death.They may oppress me,mislead me,take away my freedoms..but I will protest loudly,and I will try to undo what I see as anti-American actions.Our brave and willing soldiers should not be dying just to satisfy corperate greed.
