Nothing to do with bikes but got this today and thought I'd pass it on, struck a cord 'cause my oldest son just told me he want's to join the Royal Marines. Most of us don't think of these guys enough.
Please read on.
Here is a woman who should run for Prime Minister!
Written by a housewife in New Brunswick, to her
local newspaper. This is one ticked off lady.
'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or
was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our
shores on September 11, 2001 and have continually
threatened to do so since?
Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered
that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from
the nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania?
Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a
horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't
they?
And I'm supposed to care that a a few Taliban were
claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation
they come from and are fighting against in a brutal
insurgency.
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in
and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on
9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle
East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of
which is a crime punishable by beheading in Afghanistan.
I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry
for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed
through his gurgling slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in
Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of
disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blows themselves
up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children
within range of their suicide bombs.
I'll care when the Canadian media stops pretending that
their freedom of speech on stories is more important than
the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families
waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a CANADIAN
soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain
information, know this:
I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when
he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped,
you can take it to the bank:
I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a
prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my
tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being
'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of
hearts:
I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's
spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy
Crack Corn you guessed it,
I don't care!!
If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your
E-mail friends Sooner or later, it'll get to the people
responsible for this ridiculous behavior!
If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete
button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't
complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims
happen here in our great Country! And may I add:
'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they
made a difference in the world. But, the Soldiers don't
have that problem.'
I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I
hope you forward all this.
One last thought for the day:
Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for
you:
1. Jesus Christ
2. The Canadian Soldier.
3. The British Soldier.
4. The US Soldier , and
5. The Australian Soldier
One died for your soul, the other 4 for your freedom.
YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET ALL OF THEM.
AMEN!
