i was thinking the other day..i'm sorry? ah yes you may leav..uh. oh RUN from the room now. well i WAS thinking. anyway.....anybody remember the show M*A*S*H*? i watch the reuns somedays as a sort of release valve. remember when it came on, khaki was in and dress blues were out. the really big thing for that year. green scrubs M*A*S*H* 4007 t-shirts, etc...... it suddenly struck me as very sad that a large portion of society was more "behind" and supportive of a t.v. show about war than they've been regarding the real wars, korea, vietnam, the gulf and iraq, and the men and women that did and will go to fight. i've often wondered what most of the WWII generation thought about the turning of america against our war vets? well back to the original thinking i was doing, after trying to educate myself somewhat i really don't understand how you can be against the war and for the troops, i've heard this, even spouted something like it myself while trying to figure some things out. but i'm coming to understand they are part and parcel. one of the mil blogs i read the soldier wrote "it doesn't matter now why we're here, what matters is what are we going to do about it" (i'm probably not getting that word for word. the esssence is the same though). and agree that if we don't do something THERE about the terrorist we will be doing something HERE. and deep down are afraid we will be doing something over here about them also sooner or later. well agin thanks for lsitening to the babbling.
