Soapbox Sunday

This makes me crazy, crazy mad.

Susie O'Brien,

Attack the government and it's policy, but don't ever say that the men who follow this policy died in vain. It is insulting to all those serving and their families.

You say, "Of course, the Department of Defence assures us that their lives were not lost in vain, and that they will be remembered forever for their sacrifice. But this is just hollow rhetoric."

Perhaps, to you it is hollow, but ask all those who march on April 25th why they are marching, ask those who bow their heads in quiet thankfulness on November 11 who they are thanking, ask any wife, mother, child of a serving member, especially those deployed around the world who is foremost in their minds at a time like this.

I can guarantee that these men will be remembered.

Pull your head in and thank your lucky stars that there are men and women who are willing to fight for you, your country and the freedom that you enjoy, because it is clear from your remarks that you aren't willing to stand up and support those who do, let alone serve yourself.

*gets of soapbox*
