ArathornsAlley

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.
