In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in
the Red Queen's Race...
America...Love It, or Leave It...Not So Fast!

"Love our country", "America, love it or leave it" and "No glory like old glory"
These were considered “pro-war” slogans during the Vietnam war…
I don’t really consider them “pro-war.”
I realize why people are “anti-war,” but I don’t believe people who believe our troops must continue in Iraq should be labeled “pro-war.”
I don’t want war any more than anyone else.
Sgt. Corey Glass, 25, is an American National Guardsman who was due to redeploy to Iraq in 2006, and refused. He instead deserted and took refuge in Canada. He is said to be the first Iraqi war dodger from the U.S. to face imminent deportation from Canada.
“I don’t think it is fair that I should be returned to the United States to face unjust punishment for doing what I felt morally obligated to do,” Glass said.”
On this Memorial Day weekend, when we honor those fallen soldiers who have given their lives to protect our freedoms, I really don’t care what Sgt. Corey Glass thinks is “fair.”
He joined the National Guard voluntarily.
“Glass joined the National Guard in 2002 believing it was a “humanitarian organization.” He said he was told he would never be deployed abroad to combat.”
I find it very hard to believe that in 2002 Glass would have been told he would "never" be deployed abroad to combat.
And you know what?
You don't sign up to serve your country without committing yourself to do just that...serve your country.
So, Sgt. Glass..."Love it or leave it" in your case, should have been done before you signed up.
Too late....
Welcome back to the USA.
