One of the things that bugs me about a lot of the “wanna be” progressives who come on Facebook and other social media platforms. Who do the long “I got all the answers” posts. And think they are supposed to tell people like me, and people who live where I live, who to vote for, and the right way to see current events. Is that on days like today they got “nothing”. It’s usually is not their daughters and sons wearing the uniform of the United States military. Often it’s because they don’t have to. Their children for the most part have other choices..lots of other choices. Regardless of how we feel about war. Going into the military for many of our children provides them educational and vocational opportunities they won’t otherwise be able to get. The horror that goes through the minds and hearts of the parents and family of the troops serving in Afghanistan today … not knowing if their child survived an attack like today can’t be described.. It’s got nothing to do with if you call yourself a ” progressive” or not. many of the people l talked to on the phone today are some of the hardest working activists l have ever known.
