I came across this post at RightWingNews about the heroic paratroopers who were caught in a battle against RPG wielding terrorists in Afghanistan. You’ve heard that nine of our bravest men died, but you haven’t heard the real story from the liberal press. Well, here it is.
The concluding paragraph sums it up nicely:
Last week, there were 9 funerals in the United States. 9 warriors were laid to rest. 9 warriors who had given their all for their country. All proud members of a brotherhood that will carry on in their name. They fought and died in what most would consider impossible circumstances, and yet they succeeded. A nameless fight in a distant war which, until you understand the facts, could be spun as a defeat. It wasn’t. And it is because of the pride, courage and fighting spirit of this small unit that it was, in fact, a victory against overwhelming odds. And there’s little doubt, given that pride and given that fighting spirit, that they’ll be back to reestablish the base, this time with quite a few more soldiers just like the ones who “kicked ass” the last time there.
And the first comment says exactly why we will win the fight against Islamic terrorism if we don’t lose our resolve.
God Bless our volunteer patriots. May their families know how brave their sacrifice was and may future generations never have to fight these wars because of the brave men and women fighting today.
And they keep telling us that it’ll be the terrorists’ faith which will win the war for them.
No conscripted, brainwashed zealot fights like a free-thinking, volunteer patriot.
