The Directions of War

I am one of the many American's that stands behind all of the President's decisions. Alot of people's problems is that they do not let the one's chosen to make decisions, to make them. As for the war that is going on right now. The one we know as ''The War on Terrorism'' . I know a few people who have been over there fighting the war and I also know a few people who are currently over there right now and I do keep in touch with them and I personally know one person who paid the ultimate price in this war. I personally think that if someone is going to enjoy the freedoms of this great country then the last thing they should be doing is sitting over here complaining about the president's choices.

The other day I was eating lunch at Chick-fil-a on Zebulon Road and all of the tables were taken. Their was a soldier looking for a place to sit and he asked if he could sit by a couple of me and my friends and I told him of course he could sit down. We got on the subject of how people treated him after a lady in the restaurant offer to buy his lunch. He told us how some people would go out of their way to be nice but sometimes there would be the ones that go out of their way to say something rude. These men and women are putting their lives on the line for all of us and some people can do nothing but complain.

I realize that the reasons for the United States going to war have changed. Even though the reasons have changed and the directions for the war have changed the main objective has not changed and that is to keep America safe. Some people do not think what is happening across the seas affects the well being of America and to those people I would remind them of where the plot of 9/11 took place.

After reading the Mailer I can tell you that I do not agree with their point of views on the war. I felt as if the writer was against the war effort from the first day. I also do not like how the writer degrades the President along with his speeches. If you do not like the war then keep your oppions to yourself.
