Mar. 7th, 2006 05:09 amWhatever your personal political views, I think you will all agree that the situation described here is extremely alarming. If I attempt to summarize it in any sort of detail, I fear I may begin hissing and spitting with wrath. I did a lot of my growing up on army bases. My father served in the Army for 20 years. In the military communities I grew up in, everyone understood and valued the importance of a politically neutral military. It was, for them, a matter of honor. The people who serve in our armed forces now do not hold their honor cheap. It should not be cheap in anyone's eyes. That they should be used in this way... No party has the right to make oathbreakers of them. Read it for yourself. Follow the links, if you like. Do your own searches, your due diligence as you feel necessary. Writing to your representatives with your opinion, whatever that is, would be all to the good.
