I just finished watching a show called "This American Life" on Showtime, and during this show, it airs a segment called Talk to an Iraqi. Its amazing how some people see this sign and say that they have no regrets that we are over there in this fight and that Iraq needs us and how we have so many freedoms that need to be expanded. Are you people crazy? Our freedoms are slowly being chained, mine are bound to the government since I enlisted in the military. I, once, thought this war was useless but even though I have yet to fight or be deployed overseas, I can feel the pain of military families. I can see the melancholy cast upon the heavy hearts when a child hugs a parent for the last time for several months. No longer is it the father leaving, now it can be the mother, the brother, the youngest, a friend, the girl next door, no one is safe. My freedom may be chained to the constitution but others still have a small amount of chain to let loose and explore. Express yourself, do not worry about the high gas prices, we can't do anything about it except buy smaller cars, stop living above our means and carpooling. Buy American made products at the very least support a charity. I am not perfect, I am no where near amazing, no where near a hero, but I try to make the best of my life by trying to step into a new pair of shoes and see the world. We see a terrorist in a turban, they see fear in our eyes. I see broken homes, broken families, and smell the blood, sweat and tears from both sides. I see liberties promised but never followed through, curses lay in bodies of souls, the music whispers of wind, rain, disaster. Is the end near? Is the end here? blood money honest money golden money silver money money money pay it off buy it again my debt is unattainable within a winter breath.
