Today, at the airport, my mom began talking about how useless the war in Iraq was, and how dumb the soldiers that serve there were for enlisting during the war. The soldier at the vending machine near us caught my eye. I mouthed, "Sorry" and he mouthed, slowly, "You fuckin' better be." FML

That's awful. I give soldiers hugs and tell them thank you. Your mom needs to learn a little respect.

Even though people like your mother are unthankful for what these men and women are doing, the soldiers are fighting for everyone. Your mother needs to step back and take a look at the larger picture.. if we weren't fighting this war over seas, it would come here. Would she think it's so stupid then for soldiers to be fighting? If the terrorists were in her backyard would she still think they're dumb for protecting us? Everyone needs to be thankful for what our military is doing.. they're away from their family 6-12 months at a time, not because it's "fun" to fight a war.. but because they're doing the right thing. They are protecting the ground that your mother walks on everyday and she is taking that for granted. My husband is fighting this war that neither of us believe in, nor understand anymore.. but he is doing it to keep all of our families safe. Send her overseas for a while and let her experience the affects that the civilians are dealing with and see if she is still unthankful for them fighting the war over there.

I'm sorry you had to listen to your mom say all that. And I'm sorry you had to recieve the blunt of the soldier's anger. However, next time your mom starts saying things like that in public, you might do good to remind her that those of us who serve in the military don't have a choice as to where we are sent to fight. We go where we are told be it Iraq, Afganistan or any other hostile area. Remind her that we put our lives on the line every day to preserve the freedom that we as Americans have. That even includes those like her who are too arrogant to give a damn. I risk my life every day so that people like her can continue to have the freedom to say how horrible we are for doing so. Damn that makes me wanna punch something...
