Life Right Now In America

This sums up how life in America is at the moment....

Who Is Safe? Just One Person....

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…… 

Is Anyone Else Freaking Out?

Did anyone else freak out just a bit when Bowe Bergdahl's dad started talking in the language of the Taliban?!!!!  I think we have all heard those lines enough to know that he was basically um I’m not sure exactly if he was claiming the White House in the name of Allah or sanctifying it or exactly what but I am actually horrified that the President of our country let ANYONE use the language of the TALIBAN on the White House grounds!!! I can’t believe our Secret Service didn’t tackle him when he began uttering those phrases!!! Was anyone listening or has his entire detail switched allegiances?!!! I thought anything being spoken thru the White House had to be cleared ahead of time?!!! I will officially lose it if this President thinks he is coming home with this traitor after the D-Day Remembrances as some sort of Victory lap and think the American people are going to throw a parade of celebration or something! I don’t think I can stomach him mixing those two together…..what terrifies me even more is a huge sector of our population doesn't even know that anything horrific has just happened in our country!!! 

Jeep Is Legal!

California drives me crazy with how long they take to process thier vehicle registraition!!! I sent the reigtration and check in the VERY end of June so they would have it the begining of July. It was due the end of July. It's October and i have finally gotten my reigtration and sticker!!!!! We go thru this EVERY year! Sometimes Ed isn't deployed and we have the hassel of him being pulled over by Police, State Troopers, and MP's on base for expired tags. Of course they run the plates and it shows paid because i send the money every year the end of June so it arrives in Sacramento the begining of July but for some reason Califorinia just insists on mailing it like literally 'SNAIL' mail or something and we get it in the Fall every single year..... yep, just one of the annoyances in life because of our highly efficient government.....i just don't understand how they can open thier mail, take my check, deposit my check in a matter of 3-5 days but it takes them almost 4 complete months to mail my sticker to me.....it must be a VERY complicated job. I do hope these people are getting bonuses for their hard work!!!
