How Many Agree?

As a Disabled American Veteran, today December 7th, I stop and think back on how many Americans gave up their lives for other countries in the world. Millions of Americans fought in World War 1 and World War 2 so nations such as France,Italy, Germany, Spain and more can still be free to choose who and what they are today.  And we all know the seventh of December is the day Pearl Harbor came under attack by the Japanese.

       Americans have fought wars since our own   for our Independence from Great Britton and we continue to fight wars today for other nations sakes. We need to pull back and just protect ourselves and tell other countries who now ask us to police and defend them no!. We are not the International police force we once were anymore folks. The time is here now, to stop helping and look for some help ourselves.

       I served in a Volunteer Service mode, or because I choose to, there were many of us in times of peace who did this. I never refer to myself as a   Veteran, only a Disabled Veteran. My injuries occurred on a Naval Ship in The Persian Gulf, protecting and defending others. I did so proudly each day I served my country, even if I wasn’t always happy at it. 

       Around the world, it seems these days America is looked at and  scorned at for interfering in other countries business. The truth be known America doesn’t want to fight wars, we are just good at it and expected to help others. But it is time to say no more to this. We can not afford it!.

      The costs of war for others is weighing America down and hurting us economically, politically, and stature wise too, not counting the overall cost in manpower,equipment, travel and damages. Why do we send American men and women round the world to fight battles that are not ours, when we can bring them home and save the cash and credit?.

       I hear many politicians acknowledge the economic mess America is in, the failure of our job markets to grow, the homeless problems rising and the people on the streets with signs, WIll Work for Food!.

        Stop assisting other countries, policing other countries and fighting for and with other countries. Bring our troops home, our equipment home, and our money home. Use it as a resource to fight hunger, homelessness and joblessness here in the USA . Lets turn around the country in a good way and for a change mind our own business.  Thats what I say folks, the only question is how many agree with me?
