Honoring the Troops By Dragging Their Memory Through the Mud

[Ed Note: It was brought to my attention that I have the incorrect date of this event noted in this post. The Friend's event is scheduled for Thursday, December 20, 2007. Please note the changes below.]

On Thursday at 4 pm in Snellville Georgia the failure of America will be on display – no not the “occupation of Iraq” you nutroots nitwits, I’m talking about the loose the war and hurt America movement. I brought this action to your attention with this post. Since then, Robert Stokely and I have been having a conversation concerning their actions and the effect said actions will have on the families of those who died defending the State of Georgia and the United States of America.

Mr. Stokely rather diplomatically states:

You know, I would not be so bent on this but for the time of year: I have always tried to respect the right of others to be disrespectful or hold an opposite view of the cause Mike and our family believed in and died for. But, this is a political membership drive seeking to lure citizens in on the auspices that this is to "honor" these soldiers and by the name of the organization to sound "patriotic" - American Friendship Service Organization. And, they think they can simply hijack my son's name to do
their bidding?

Perhaps it is this time of year when the empty chair is noticed more that makes it harder to handle but I've about had it with these Friend's Groups who are really nothing more than socialist front groups pushing their America at Fault campaign at every turn. As Bill Whittle noted in his recent post, highlighted in yesterday’s Web Recon:

We can no longer afford to let this anti-American garbage pass unchallenged. As a kind and secure people, we tend to let a lot of this go under the bridge, but this kind of crap gets more and more traction, and those days I think must come to an end for a while.

Now normally I do not employ personal ridicule, but I was writing in the heat of the moment and I thought it was no less than such a puerile attempt deserved. These people need to be challenged, factually defeated, thrashed, and mocked.

I’m fast approaching that point myself with these idiots who ignore their country as if they are suffering from some undiagnosed mental disorder. They have grown up in a country where everything is handed to them as if it was an entitlement and because of that they see conspiracy at every turn when their needs are not met. They are not unlike the spoiled rich kid who while given everything has nothing and rebels against their parents. It’s called projection my friends and their actions and shrill whining are nothing more than a manifestation of their internal struggle with reality and the fantasy they want it to be.

Christmas or not, their actions are wrong, and it needs to be pointed out, they can not hijack the honor and memory of our heroes for their cause. If they want to protest, then by all means protest, but don't hide behind the moral authority of honoring those who gave their all...they couldn't care less about Sgt Mike Stokely or the thousands of others that gave their lives so that others would not have to. To them the troops are uneducated cast offs, deserving of all they get, especially death in the service to their master in Washington. In reality we know the truth and I'd willingly carry the rucksack of any serving soldier today for as long as they wished than stand next to one of these so called Friends of Peace for a minute.

If you are in the Snellville area on Thursday December 20, I implore you to stand up to their self-serving idiocy, and call them out on it. The boots these 100 soldiers represent are not pawns in their game of make-believe, they are our heroes, they are your heroes and they deserve to be honored not shamed for their service. We must never be ashamed of our service, and we should wear our uniforms proudly so as to standout from those that simply live under the mantle of our freedom our service provides.

Your silence is only a tacit endorsement of their beliefs and they must know that they are not our friends.
