I would like to know what the demonstrators hope to accomplish now that a full-blown war is underway in Iraq. I was not for war. I’ve been in some and know first-hand the horrors they carry with them.
No demonstration is going to stop the war now, so it would be better to direct all that energy in supporting our troops. How do you think they feel hearing that the flag is burned to show discontentment? The burning of the flag should be reserved to the enemies of our country, not our fellow Americans. Our flag represents our country all over the world. It represents our beautiful states of America. It represent us. Every one is entitled to his or her opinion, but don’t send messages that can sap the morale of our troops.
Think of what you can do for them. Besides praying, send them letters of encouragement, e-mails, care packages, etc. In other words, funnel your energy to show them that you care. After all, they are obeying orders.
