Here's Joanne Jacobs on sending our "babies" off to war. Says Joanne, her daughter - headed for Kuwait - isn't a baby; she's a full-grown woman and is to be respected as such.The TurkeyBlog salutes all those in the armed forces for their courage in defending us, and wouldn't think of calling a single one of them a baby within a mile of arm's reach. May God watch over them all, and indeed over all of us in this crazy world where the likes of Sean Penn are more worried about giving Saddam a second chance than giving even the time of the day to the brave men and women who make sure that no one interferes with the showing of his films, the guarding of his basic liberty and the assurance that when he hops on a plane to Baghdad there are safe air routes for him to take back home.
The TurkeyBlog is grateful, damn grateful, that these folks make possible this fine country where any idiot with a modem - even yours truly - can share his thoughts without fear of the midnight knock on the door, the mysterious disappearance of himself and/or his publications, & c. God bless the USA and all those who protect her.
Update: Maybe I read Joanne wrong. Says Dr. Weevil,
I think your post yesterday is mistaken. It's not Joanne Jacobs' daughter who just shipped off to the Gulf: the 'Sgt. Mom' she's talking about is not herself but one of the posters on Sgt. Stryker, mother of 'Cpl. Blondie'.Thanks to Dr. Weevil; we like to get stuff right.
