I don't want to kick anyone's behind for starting this thread, but I WOULD like to take a moment to tell certain members (left unnamed, thank you) that I did NOT write the article.
I even stated in the message that I did not write the article, nor did my husband, so please, don't give me any credit for it.
I received it from him, I thought it was good, I passed it on to our message area here because I thought others would find it interesting. End of story.
If anyone has issue with the article or what was written in it about any of the people, please take it up with the author. Her name is right next to the title.
As for Texas being "hillbilly" country, I always thought that was Kentucky's honor, or West Virginia's. I had always heard of the "hillbilly music" that came from around that area when I was a kid, but I never knew it was from Texas! I always thought they gave us that cowboy stuff that John Revolta ... I mean TRAVOLTA ... danced to in "Urban Cowboy."
And by the way...those "60 and 70 year olds" don't want their kids and grandkids to go to war like they had to, believe me. And to say that they wouldn't fight is pure *.*., because they went WILLINGLY for their country, and even volunteered to go.
I don't see you doing that; just flapping your gums about how horrible your life is because you have the freedom to stand up and say how you feel. And that goes for ALL countries whose eldery fought and died for those freedoms.
Do you honestly believe you'd be able to do that if those men and women who are "60 and 70 year olds" HADN'T gone out to fight and die for the likes of you?
I think you might want to start engaging your brain before you let your fingers run off with your mouth...
Sorry if I may have gone against the rules here, but when some childish person who doesn't know what the heck they are talking about when it comes to war speaks like this, it really makes my blood boil. Fortunately the only thing that gets hurt is my keyboard for all the backspacing and deleting I have to do...
