TRUSTING OUR MEN OVERSEAS TO DO THE RIGHT THING

Americans, as a whole, are idealists. American soldiers overseas, even though in a strange land, with languages and religions quite foreign to them, still try to make friends. They've helped cement relationships with other countries after the battles, and even during those battles. No other nation possesses soldiers like ours.

Oh sure, there are always some bad apples in the bunch. It cannot be avoided. There are temptations to which they succumb, and that cannot be avoided. But, overall, they well respresent us and our ideals. I trust them. We all should do so, and we should let them know it at every opportunity.

I am not ashamed to be a Patriotic American. I am ashamed of what goes on in many of our American colleges and universities today, full of Socialists and Communists on the teaching staffs. I say that any time a student finds the teacher preaching leftist garbage or downgrading America, that the student has a right to challenge it, to debate it right then and there. I know that I would do so.

We should also challenge such writers as Alexander Cockburn, Robert Sheer, and their ilk, both by email and Letters to the Editor. Not hate messages, because that does not accomplish anything, but short, well reasoned answers to their liberal diatribes

Independent thoughts. Politically incorrect? So what! Freedom of speech is just that, freedom of speech. Many Universities no long seem to subscribe to the Second Amendment. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA WRIT SMALL. (Theodore Dalrymple).

Name:Howarde

Location:Solvang, California, United States

Born in Ohio in 1924, which leaves the arithmetic to you. Raised in New Jersey on the banks of the Hudson River, where I often watched all the activities on the river, such as maiden voyages of the English liner, S.S. Queen Mary and the French liner, S.S. Normandie, the large vessels docking on the N.Y. side of the river. Spent five years at sea as a Merchant Seaman, rank of Purser. Sort of like roaming the world during and after WWII.
