Instead if complaining about the war, Thank God for our Military

Two of my brothers are Marines they joined AFTER the war started. I am so proud of them and even though some of these images are disturbing, so if you are squeamish don't look, we need to remember to be thankful for our Military and remember that while we may not like what is going on, I mean who likes war??, we should speak about our military with pride, Praise God we have such wonderful men and women willing to risk their lives not only for US here in the USA, but for our neighbors around the world. I am so proud of all of our service men and women. And yes even our President yes he fumbles sometimes, He is human after all. And with everything that has happend thank the Lord we have had such good caring man in charge of our country. God Bless America and God Bless our Military!!!

If you don't support your troops well, then don't re-post. You won't die in 7 days, your love life won't be affected, and you won't have the worst day ever. You don't have to repost. It's not like you know the men and women that are dying to preserve your rights.
