Really?

So with memorial day upon us, we find ourselves thinking about those who have died for the freedoms we enjoy. Or at least the BBQs we have the freedom tor have tomorrow right?

Anyway, today I had someone (I will not mention names to protect the ignorant) ask me a question about the war because she didn't understand it.

She basically asked why we have all the military over seas fighting. She said she thinks they should all be here, then they can fight and protect us if/when the US gets attacked again.

So I said, they are over there fighting to prevent future attacks here and protect innocent American lives.

She said she didn't understand how that was better, it didn't make sense to her. That we should just have them here and wait to be attacked. And something about that way there would be peace.

Really, that would be better? Instead of preventing future attacks, we should let them happen, THEN fight back? Can anyone remember 9/11? What do they think we are doing? So we fight back for a little bit until people forget why, then wait to be attacked again? Then what have these same ignorant people ask why WE didn't do anything to prevent it?

And we let people like this vote why? And hold public office? Seriously!

That's all I have to say about that.
