Dear brother in arms,

Thanks for replying to my comments and thanks for your service. No one understands the sacrifices that you and your family have made unless they have been through it themselves. I am proud of you. Please be careful and remember to stay strong, Army Strong. Hooah!!! I am assuming that you serve/served in the Army because they have spent a lot of back to back 15mth deployments while some of the other services do 6 mth tours. Therefore it would be difficult to do 5 years in Iraq other than being a Soldier in most cases pending exceptions. God bless you and your family.

I hope I don't disrespect you or upset you with my reply. Please be careful with your comments sir. The president is our commander so don't forget about the UCMJ. Also, if you are out of the military then don't forget about sedition laws. You especially crossed the line between freedom of speech and seditious libel with your comments on assassination.

This is the land of the free and the home of the brave for sure and we have elected representatives on our behalf. If they don't govern us the way we expect to be governed then we have the opportunity to re-elect new leadership through the democratic process. They have a hard job as it is because our country is facing some difficult challenges right now. You know the deal. We can disagree all day but once the boss makes the decision we have buck up and pitch in and support with all our might and follow it if it is legal and moral. We should stay united to face those challenges constructively together. United we stand and divided, well, you know the rest sir.

As for me and my friends moving to South Vietnam, he he he, no thank you sir. This is here is my home and this here is where i want to be in which I am proud to be and love my country and fellow countrymen and women. It is funny to here people saying stuff like,"look what your president has done now". Well, he is the President of the United States of America. We all may not agree on all issues and we have our differences but we must be big enough not to let them divide us. It is hard, but we must continue to stick together, work together through love and brotherhood. God bless the USA.

Peace
