ArathornsAlley I read with great sorrow about the latest attack of our troops.It came as always when we least expected it and the last place it should of occured but the fact remains that it will not lessen our resolve to come to the aid of a much oppressed people.
What concerned me the most is something that no one seems to want to talk about,and that is the ammount of people that this affects and how this loss will undoubtably affect our futures. We are talking at least 80 grandparents, 40 parents, perhaps as many as 20 spouses, and who can guess at the number of dependent children who have just lost a parent or the contributions to society that a now unborn child may of brought to the world.
War is brutal, there is no other way to look at it. So to all you poor misguided folks who think that freedom is free and that every thing is all good just cause you are fortunate enough to live in the greatest country in the world, just one word...................................REMEMBER....................................the price all those many folks paid to keep you free to squabble over parking spots at the mall or bitch about the price of gasoline and blame it on our brave men and women who were simply sitting down to their lunch. Thats the way I see it here at Arathorns Alley..........well at least through the tears.

This post is not really significant it is just a thought that I have...........Dr. Phil is a ok guy......I am proud of what he is trying to do for our military and their familys. I think ALL and I mean ALL Americans should take his lead and try to help in any fashion that they can.It is about time that most of these citizens realize just where their freedoms come from. and thats the way I see it here at Arathorns alley

As circumstances would have it I came upon this choice tidbit purely by accident but it is so true and relevant that I had to share it with those who have so kindly taken the time to look at my blog....................................
Asylum can't protect from disgrace at home (Joe Scarborough)
The account is chilling.
A soldier seeking asylum in Canada tells the grim story of trigger-happy U.S. Marines and soldiers gunning down women and children in the streets of Iraq. Later he recounts how soldiers pumped hundreds of bullets into civilian cars, slaughtering unarmed occupants trapped inside.
And then there was the time U.S. Marines gunned down unarmed protesters in retaliation for a stray bullet flying overhead.
In what was described by reporters as "chilling testimony," former U.S. Marine Jeremy Hinzman and retired staff sergeant Jimmy Massey described Iraq as an immoral war and accused fellow Marines of murder and mayhem.
The explosive charges were meant to bolster Hinzman's efforts to dodge combat duty and gain citizenship in Canada.
The only problems with the claims are that Massey named no names in the testimony and the Marine seeking asylum — Hinzman — never even set foot in Iraq.
Like John Kerry and the Winter Soldiers thirty years ago, these former members of the armed services have no problem telling the world that American troops are baby-murdering villains whose actions on the battlefield have made them all war criminals.
But as with John Kerry's testimony before the Senate in 1971, these cowards came forward only when it was politically expedient.
More damning to their horror story is the fact they refuse to name names.
You can take it to the bank that if I were fighting next to some crazed U.S. soldier who was gunning down women and children in the streets of Iraq, I would immediately report the murderous activity to my military commanders. Instead, these publicity-seeking hounds decided to call a press conference in Canada months after the alleged incidents occurred.
If these wanton acts of rape and murder ever took place, how would this grandstanding months later save a single civilian from the fury of our barbaric ground troops in Iraq? Oh wait. It wouldn't.
But then again, spreading these pack of lies to an American-hating press corps was never about saving a single life in Iraq. Instead, it was about nothing more than helping a coward flee to Canada.
If the whole north-of-the-border thing doesn't work out for Hinzman, I'm sure Osama Bin Laden would let him share a cave in Pakistan. After all, this disgraced former Marine aided and abetted every terror network worldwide by spreading lies and propaganda about our brave fighting men and women in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The only mistake America made in this case was allowing two people so utterly lacking in character into the Marine Corps. By their actions, they have proven themselves to be unworthy of being called United States Marines.
This acount of the press shows in no uncertain terms it's bias against the persuit of life, liberty,and the American way. Like it or not ,thats the way I see it here on arathorn`s alley.

On this aniversery of Pearl Harbor I pause to reflect on what our brave men and women are doing right now to insure that the American way of life, meaning truth and justice, is made available to a group that has been so opressed for so long, I can`t help but remeber these famous words.................. No man who refuses to bear arms in defense of his nation can give a sound reason why he should be allowed to live in a free country" T. Roosevelt We all need to support our troops 100 % and all they are trying to do for the rest of the world. Like it or not that is the way I see it here on Arathorn`s Alley
