Marching One by One Hurrah. Hurrah.

As you all know, President Obama publicly announced last night at his speech at the prestigious military academy, Westpoint, that he will be dispatching 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan to finally end that war! Yes! (Mock enthusiasm here). Finally, after months of waiting, he has decided to make a firm move. I wonder what all those protesters outside the mall near my house will be saying this weekend. Not once have I seen them protest the war in direct relation to Obama; they've only attacked the fact that we're still at war, not the person who's responsible for not keeping to his promise to pull all the troops out in Iraq - i.e. Obama. I laugh at his incompetence. No, I'm kidding, I'm not that informed about these matters so I'm sure he's trying his best? But maybe his best could be even better...So world, let's all wake up. War isn't something we want, but sometimes it's necessary to establish peace. All those people who say that there are other ways to handle these situations are wrong, to be quite frank. If there is a terrorist group who wants to exterminate you and your countryfolk, I don't think they'd want to sit at a table and talk about it. They probably just want to kill you, or get lots of money from you, no? So, yes, war is costly not only financially and resource-wise, but life-wise too; I realize that many people are sacrificing themselves for this cause. However, they know what they were getting themselves into when they signed up to be in the army. They are ready and willing to give their lives for the greater good, and if they are voluntarily doing so, I think we should support them and commend them for their courage! We shouldn't downgrade their efforts by saying that this war is useless and we should just bring everyone home. They obviously won't be able to come home soon quite yet, so for the time being, we should just support them and continue to send our good wishes to them!

On a sidenote, I was scanning Drudge Report, and there was a picture that caught my attention - a Westpoint cadet reading a book called "Kill Bin Laden." I find this image so amusing. Just saying. Have you seen it? Click here.
