I HOPE EACH OF YOU WILL TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS ENTIRE E-MAIL ;
WHETHER YOU ARE DEMOCRAT, REPUBLICAN OR INDEPENDENT MATTERS NOT. BUT
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WILL NEVER KNOW OF AMERICA'S PAST LOYALTY TO THIS
GREAT COUNTRY, IF THEY DO NOT HEAR IT FROM THOSE WHO SPEND THE TIME TO
E-MAIL SUCH RELEVANT TRUTH TO PEOPLE WE CARE ABOUT..........

It doesn't matter who you are, where you live, your religion, race, or
sex. This is serious stuff. What a difference 60 years makes..!!!

I know everyone has a different opinion on the war and our current
President, But this article makes a lot of sense and I hope you will
take 2 minutes and read it and give it some thought.

I have never seen the 'situation' expressed any better in words!
Recently I was talking to a friend about the upcoming election and the
candidates. As we ended our discussion he said, 'The only decision you
have to make is who you want sitting in that seat in the White House
when - NOT IF - but 'when' we get hit again and millions of American
lives are put at risk! You ain't gonna like losing.'

President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the
mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq. Bush's mistake came
in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in
WWII. It is not.

Back then we had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was
steeled by the hardship of that depression but they still believed
fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their
leaders so it was the people's duty to back those leaders .

Therefore when the war broke out the people came together, rallied
behind and stuck with their leaders whether they had voted for them or
not or whether the war was going badly or not.

And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it
is today. Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we
have had in the entire Iraq war. But sad as the deaths and
missing-in-action was, the people stuck together behind the President
because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their
differences in WWII and worked together to win that war.

Everyone from every strata of society from young to old pitched in.
Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the
war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for
war bonds to

help the effort. (Yes, we actually did these things 'back
then')...........
Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition
trying their best to join the military. Women doubled their work to keep
things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to
soap to butter was imposed yet there was very little complaining. You
never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President.
Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and
entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile
countries and complain to them about our President. Instead they made
upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And
a bunch even enlisted.

And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with
a Pledge of Allegiance and with prayers for our country and our troops!
Back then no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in
our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage. No
newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch
spies.

There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to
a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion, and promiscuity in
movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crack-heads, dope
pushers, and armed gangs roaming our streets.

President Bush made the mistake of believing that we still had the
courage, esprit de corps and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that
this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to
preserve. It is not the same country . It is now a cross between Sodom
and Gomorrah and the land of Oz. We did unite for a short while after
9/11, but our attitude changed when we found out that

defending our country would require some sacrifices.
We are in great danger. The terrorists are fanatic Muslims. They believe
that it is okay, even their duty to kill anyone who will not convert to
Islam . It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred
million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists' cause... ****** and
Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits.

So... We either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.
America is not at war. Our military is at war. America is at the mall.
I am glad that you took the couple of minutes to read this. I ask that
you THINK ABOUT IT when you vote in November. Voting Democrat or
Republican is most definitely YOUR CHOICE. Just remember what you have
just read.

However, millions of the younger generations will not even know what
this is all about.......all we can do is try to inform.....try to help
in any way we can!

TweetI read it, I'd suggest they go back and read the newspapers from 500 years ago, 400 years ago, 300 years ago, etc.

What will u find, shockingly all the headlines are exactly the same as they are today.

Overpopulation, Feast Famine, War this War That, Fear here Fear There, The govt. sucks, lol

So, some dud writes and email and calls it a history lesson, it is factually a history opinion, mostly illogical and wrong, cause if they knew history they would know, people the masses have changed very little, the basically act the same, different time, different place.

The one thing that has changed is communication, so u can't fool all of the people all of the time anymore.

Now, that's change i'm on board with.
