Why America will always be great

by ·

Go to the average mainstream news site and you’ll probably find something about the political circus that was the election. The outcome of the election is important, but let us not forget one of the hard truths of the world which no politician will be able to change; there are some evil beings out there looking to do evil deeds to us. There are also the brave few who are out there still fighting the good fight, doing good things, and as we were so harshly reminded last weeks, there are the best of us who have given all: CPT Andrew Byers and SFC Ryan Gloyer from 10th Special Forces Group killed in Afghanistan, SSG Matthew Lewellen, SSG James Moriarty, and SSG Kevin McEnroe from 5th Special Forces Group killed in Jordan, and SSG David Whitcher who died training in Key West. The Regiment loses six Special Forces Soldiers in a sad week

I know I’m preaching to choir with this community, but it’s tough not to feel frustration. The latest celebrity gossip or political mudslinging garners more attention than deep political concerns or attacks against our military; a military still at war just with a different label.  Sure, I get caught up in my daily routines within the comforts of my current reality. Still, I can’t help but think about those out in the dark places helping those who can’t fight for themselves.

    Well said. ?? God Bless America.

    This is a fabulous article - and yes, all you have to do is read about the 6 SF soldiers we lost last week to conclude that the country that can produce people of this caliber is incomparable. America is unique in offering freedom, opportunity, education and knowledge to all of her citizens, limited only by their own desires, work ethic and abilities. God Bless America, especially our military in harm's way. Thanks, GerDono!

    Thanks, Susan. I wholeheartedly agree with you on the importance of this, and any election.

    Yup – I’ve heard some dumb stuff over the past few months, “ashamed to be American” “leaving the country” bull… I don’t need people like that in my circle. Thanks, Dexter.

    You hit it on the head brother... for me this was never about Trump or killary, it was about America! For these celebrities who don't appreciate our great country and the sacrifice made by true Americans-"fuck outta here" they can take their wack ass to Canada. Good riddens. It's called "addition by subtraction".
