Walking away is not an option... dialogue must prevail.
"A good listener tries to understand what the other person is saying. In the end he may disagree sharply, but because he disagrees, he wants to know exactly what it is he is disagreeing with."
- Kenneth A. Wells
"I do not want the peace that passeth understanding. I want the understanding which bringeth peace."
- Helen Keller
I recently saw a video making fun of the Canadian military for looking at their current mission in Afghanistan and
re-evaluating their resources. Too many soldiers have been wounded and killed for us to think that we can just send people out there without giving them the right tools, experienced leaders and training. It's not respectful of the legacy they've joined, nor of their families.
So Fox News? A big FUCK YOU, eh! Thank God I know better than to think all Americans are such asshats.
Lest we forget...
Thank a soldier.
Edited: OOPS, in my moment of "ARGH" I forgot to send y'all to the newest member of the blogging community. A Marine no less! *heart swells* So go on, say hi... make him feel welcome and thank him, his is a tough job. Semper Fi, darlin'!
