You know what I find so annoying...

The other day on the news these moms, dads, anyone were protesting the war in Iraq. On the other side of the street were the pro-war activists. Well some vetern decides to say (and why the news aired his comments I will never know) that b/c these people are protesting the war that they are anti-military and AREN'T AMERICANS!!!!

WTF!!!!!!

I am very much an American!

I am also very much pro-military. My grandfather served as a medic in WW2. My other grandfather was a pilot in Korea. My great uncle died in WW2 (he was a pilot). My dad enlisted and was sent to Turkey during Vietnam (he was drafted but being the only son would have never seen combat). My uncle was in the air force. My cousin, Kevin, was in the Navy. My cousin, Craig, is in Germany in the Army as an air traffic controller and last but not least my brother, Erik, is in Kuwait.

My brother doesn't want to be there. I seriously doubt any of them really want to be there.

So what about my brother? He's anti-war, pro-military, in the military, according to that man he wouldn't be "American".
