Yes, I know- you aren't here to read about politics. I get that. But having said that, I'm going to make a brief "support the troops" message. For a post by someone you might be more used to being a bit more policitally outspoken you can visit Blonde Sagacity.
Seems some people think that funeral services of fallen American soldiers are a good place to protest how mush God hates the United States.
IMHO, funerals should be reserved to show respect for those who risked their lives for their country- whether you agree with the war or not.
Thankfully to counter these insulting anti-American attacks, a group of bikers known as the Patriot Guard Riders have begun gathering at funerals- per the request of families, and shielding them from the torment that protesters would have them suffer.
Please take a moment to show your appreciation for those that provide this incredible display of respect and love for the families of fallen heros. Patriot Guard Riders - Americans Doing the Right Thing No matter where you stand on the issue of war, attempt to remember that these soldiers are our brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. They deserve our highest of respect, and our deepest display of honor, while they live, and it should continue past their heartbreaking deaths.

What a great thing.
And non-violent, too.
Can I start one where we occasioanally crack a traitorous commie-skull or two?
Just wondering....
BTW, you can talk politics whenever you like, imo.
No matter our individual feelings about the war, these men and women did not set the policies, or make the decisions.
Once they joined up, they had even less input. They are told "this is what is right, this is what you will do, and you will do it without complaining". And they do. So when they come home, they deserve our respect, and our support. No matter if they come home on their own two feet, a stretcher, or a casket.
And their own families have given enough. Don't ask them to respond to politics at a funeral.
