Today I am angry. I am angry that Chris fights overseas with so very little concern from the very people who put him there. It makes me shake when I think that politicians control the very existence of my family. Those same cod fish, most of them anyway, have NEVER served in the military, and almost none have kids overseas toting M-4s.
Tell me, Mrs. Politician, what do you really know of war? How many tourniquets have you tied? How many bad guys have you hunted down? How many days have you gone without speaking to your kids? I REALLY want to know! Tell me, Mr. Politician, if you choose to continue to fight on Capitol Hill, how will that help my country? How will Americans pay the bills? Will you still have a roof over your head as I pack mine up? Where is your heart, backbone and soul, Mr. Politician? Did you forget you ever had those? Where did you leave them? Answer me!
