The Afgan Detainees and the bleeding hearts
This was written by a Dr. in Texas, please read.
I was just reading Yahoo news and the San Antonio Express
newspaper.You know what upsets me? People with absolutely nothing to
do with their lives, so they complain on how the U.S. is treating the
prisoners or "Detainees" from Afghanistan.
Do you know why they are complaining? They see a picture on the news
or the internet and they see someone who is shackled and blindfolded
and walking with two armed guards behind razor wire. This picture
tells them they are treated unfairly.
Here is what I see.... I see a thin, sickly looking person who under
severe mental duress from being bombed, was cleaned up, given a
haircut to prevent infestation of parasites, and given new clothes and
shoes to wear. I see a person who is given three nutritious meals per
day and a bed to sleep in in a tropical climate, not the cold desert
floor of Afghanistan, eating worms, bugs, and goat. I see a person who
will be able to get relief from their pains and illnesses without
paying a dime for medical expenses. They will get rest, educated, and
their mental stress levels will have dropped tremendously because they
were taken out of a combat area and will not be shot at again.
I see these people blindfolded and shackled behind razor wire. I have
the intellectual ability to understand why they are this way. For
those that do not have this ability, let me explain it to you. They
are blindfolded to protect OUR U.S. SOLDIERS from further harm. These
people can not plan to destroy something if they can not see it. They
are shackled because these same people have proven they will easily
give up their lives to kill just ONE AMERICAN. We are protecting their
life as well as our own. The razor wire is a mental deterrent, just
like the little alarm company warning signs most of you out there have
on your home, but don't have the actual alarm system. You would think
many times over before actually trying to cross that razor wire. For
all of you people out there thinking how bad these poor detainees have
it under such strict guard, you need to do a lot more thinking about
other things in your life.
I was born on September 11th, 1966, and every birthday I have from now
on will never be a happy one. Why, do you ask? Because as I am out
somewhere trying to have a nice dinner, someone will have a candle or
a ribbon or something, crying about the anniversary of a national
tragedy.
And then I will think, about how insignificant my one little birthday
actually is compared to everything else that had happened on that one
day.
It boggles my mind that there are actually people out there in this
world, in leadership positions, head of companies that actually think
that we are doing something wrong when it comes to protecting our
nation and our people.
These same people will be the first ones to complain about something
that happens to them when they are vacationing outside this country.
They will ask why the U.S. does not do anything about their
misfortune.These are the same people that complain about taxes and how
bad their lives actually are.
If you receive this email, please pass it on . I am not afraid or
ashamed to speak my peace. I am an American, my father fought for
this country, and was willing to die for it.
