Like all Americans I was happy to find out the soldier being
held by the Taliban was going to be released.
I knew he had wondered off on his own and there was a lot of controversy
and lives lost over him. There has been plenty of chatter about him over the last couple of years, especially when Osama was killed. I was just relieved to know that our manpower would
no longer be used to track what was going on with him and could be focused more on our troops who were doing their jobs with honor and distinction and with all the other support groups over there and the individuals who don't even have names because their jobs are so classified. However, when finding
out what was traded for him I literally was sick to my stomach…..i recognized
every name on the list of those being released. Those animals are not even
human. Actually animal is even too nice a word to use for them. They are
killing machines and I can’t even fathom for the life of me why they would be
let loose after all the work that was put into capturing them…all the lives
lost to put them into captivity……These terrorists have killed and tortured countless
human beings, not just Americans, but others in other countries and they will
again, they are probably already planning their next victims as I type this.
They are evil to the core and those kind of monsters do not stop until they
die. I can't even imagine how the people in Afghanistan, Iraq are feeling....those that may still be alive that had assisted in having them captured or any of the enemy that worked with these monsters killed or captured....they have to be terrified knowing that they are coming for them and their family and there is nobody to protect them. Lately i just feel like i am watching a horrible movie.....a really REALLY bad movie that is so obvious in who the bad guys are but none of the actors on the set can see it and me, sitting in the audience is going crazy and just wants to walk out on this atrociously written movie! But unfortunately it's NOT a movie and i can't walk out, but it seems like most of America has walked out and has no idea what is going on....I don't believe their only targets will be only US service members. I really think anyone is at risk now and terror cells operate globally....nobody is safe now. There are thousands of families stationed in the Middle East who shop, dine, and vacation all throughout the Middle East. DODEA teachers in Europe vacation all over the Middle East all summer long. Military families vacation all over Europe all summer long, not to mention just regular American families on vacation. I worry for the average American family who has no idea about situational awareness who now goes on vacation outside of the United States. There has always been a slight risk, but after this weekend slight just went to high if someone is in a planned area of abduction. The only person now safe from something like this happening is the one who set them free……
