What if?
This post is getting a lot of discussion on Hooah Wife and my husband says it is his all time favorite post. So I had to share.
What if the people who originally thought the war was was the right plan of action, continued to support it?
What if the American people demanded we stay the course until the mission was complete?
What if the terrorists knew that the will of the American people was united and would not rest until their heads were served on a platter?
What if the lives of soldiers was jeopardized because they were being used as political pawns?
What if politicians who actually voted to send soldiers off to war, stuck by their decision - for better or worse?
What if the media supported the war efforts?
What if angry anti-war people used their energy to actually help soldiers and their families?
What if we get attacked again on our own soil?
What if you realized today that your personal attitude and efforts can make the job of a soldier much easier?
What if we lose?
What if we win?
What if you were putting your life on the line for a group of people that thought you weren’t doing a job worth doing?
What if someone was standing behind you second-guessing your every move, every second of the day?
What if you were in a soldier’s shoes?
What if you boarded the wrong train and learned that you were going in the opposite direction? But you stayed on the train because you would be too embarassed to correct the situation by getting off of the train and get on the correct train.
You would end up many miles from your desired location and you would have to trek back to where you wanted to go. Now lets assume that your wrong way trip is costing American lives every day. And lets further assume that the loss of American lives would end…at the time when you finally get to the location you wanted to go to in the first place!

I guess it was worth repeating (lol).

What if you take your train back to Vietnam in 1975, enjoy yourself as you watch 3 million Vietnamese try to escape by boat, with an estimated 25% that will die at Sea.
Your next stop on your train should be the Reeducation Camps for those who did not take the boat, an estimated 1 million people were sent to be reeducated, tortured, and estimated 100,000 die.
Then take the train to “The Killing Fields of Cambodia,” while your train is stopped please entertain your self by watching the execution of 2.3 million people.
Yes sir, what if your train is going in the wrong direction, simply turn around and finish what the hell you started, otherwise you will have new places to visit, have a nice day.
