Thank you for saying what you are saying. I about choke when I watch the slant of the news each day. If it weren't for his observations- which align with yours, I would be more concerned about his welfare than I am. His Father and I are very proud of him - and all of you. Most Americans don't have a clue here anymore about the amount of freedom they have and about what it will really take to preserve the parts of it that are worth preserving. This is a genuine battle of good vs evil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057243.post-1139515276116997452006-02-09T15:01:00.000-05:002006-02-09T15:01:00.000-05:00Great post, B-man.

The way you pulled us in with a seemingly innocuous reflection in order to make a larger point reminded me of the man I consider the Master of post-9/11 observation, Bill Whittle. He's written a series of essays over the past two years he's published as "Silent America", and you can find most of them on his website:<BR/>http://www.ejectejecteject.com/<BR/><BR/>Check out his most recent essay "Tribes" as well as an older one "History" and be prepared to be blown away. This man is quite a talent.BUCK SARGENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538503401888528555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057243.post-1139507986921512922006-02-09T12:59:00.000-05:002006-02-09T12:59:00.000-05:00Hey Tim!

After all she didn't get to be a Grandma without learning something about life. I'm sure she understands. <BR/>Thanks for another great blog, Tim. There is a book by Col David Hunt called "They Just Don't get it" that talks about all the terrorist acts in this country throughout recent history. Very interesting, and really scary too! Keep saying it like it is Boggs! Oh, and Annie - - lay off the caffine. Must be the chickory, a new favorite here in the goat pasture. <BR/>NeatieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057243.post-1139503763338550972006-02-09T11:49:00.000-05:002006-02-09T11:49:00.000-05:00Thanks Todd, We emailed it to every military man ...Thanks Todd, We emailed it to every military man we could, including T.F.

I'm sure your grandma is, as always, proud of you even if you let the words carry you away sometimes. I know she had to deal with a lot worse from her son, and she still talks to me. <BR/><BR/>Also Annie, thanks for pointing out the song, I really enjoyed it. I hope a lot of the heros (who aren't in our midst right now) get to hear it.<BR/><BR/>ToddOldDadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08886063064284775044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057243.post-1139494100870548962006-02-09T09:08:00.000-05:002006-02-09T09:08:00.000-05:00I'm sorry Boggs- - -I hit the button twice!

You obviously had parents who raised you well and encouraged you to study history and to keep up with world events. However, sitting on a beach with a hula girl and beer betrayed you. Yes, you are a 24 year old.<BR/>Seriously though, you couldn't be more right. Our hope is that people will bypass the MSM, go to the internet and blogs, learn the truth about terrorism and what we are in reality facing and rise up and act. We all need to step forward as you brave men in Iraq have. We have to face it head on because it will not just go away, as you said. I discussed your blog over the phone with a man 1200 miles away from me tonight and he is about convinced to get a computer and learn to use it so he can read your blog - -and others like you. I read your blogs to him, he thinks you are great, and his ideas on this war are changing because of you. Thanks T. F. Boggs for stepping forward for us all. Thanks for telling us about your morning of denial and your many days of facing harsh reality. You are a hero to us.<BR/>AnnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057243.post-1139493308892177362006-02-09T08:55:00.000-05:002006-02-09T08:55:00.000-05:00T. F.

I know that saying of yours at the end of your post. :) It's a real waste to me that in the hustle and bustle of life people don't take the time to really appreciate the little things in life, all of the things you serve to protect. Every time I see a pretty blue sky, the bright sun, hear a child's laughter...heck even the rain, I think of all of you so far away that would give anything to be home to appreciate them. <BR/><BR/>I truly give thanks for men like you who stand the watch so people like me can enjoy a safe and peaceful day. <BR/><BR/>You are right, we must stay the course for there is a bigger picture of destruction of our freedoms and our ways of life if we do not. In their hatred of the President and his steadfast leadership on the GWOT the far left would, I believe, rather see us destroyed than admit what we are doing is the right thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057243.post-1139430769953835602006-02-08T15:32:00.000-05:002006-02-08T15:32:00.000-05:00A correction if you will.What I should have said w...A correction if you will.<BR/><BR/>What I should have said was 'Even worse are those that want all of the freedoms and rights but have the decision that the time comes to pay for those freedoms, they won't.'David Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153191536633461987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15057243.post-1139430393030025412006-02-08T15:26:00.000-05:002006-02-08T15:26:00.000-05:00You wrote: People who choose to live in America an...You wrote: People who choose to live in America and enjoy their freedom without recognizing what it takes to have freedom fail to realize the incredible price that has been paid for them to do so.<BR/><BR/>Even worse are those that want all of the freedoms and rights but have no sense that at some point they must also be willing to pay for these freedoms.
