'General'ly Stupid

General Abazaid, retired, recently announced that Americans ‘should relax’ and that we’ll be in the middle east for ’25 to 50 years’. My initial response was to just scratch my head and sigh, but after thinking of his words for awhile I find myself growing more and more nauseous. The word ‘relax’ isn’t one you often hear when referring to war. Relax? Something is wrong when one can encourage people to ‘relax’ regarding war. How cavalier. How disrespectful. How absolutely stupid.
Relax?
People are dying.
Relax?
More people will die.
Relax?
This man was in charge of our troops for a time. Was that what he communicated to the Soldiers? Relax?
Is that what he would tell the wounded and maimed in our VA Medical Centers? Relax?
Did he tell the families of our fallen Soldiers the same thing? Relax?
Did he tell the innocents in Iraq to relax too?
How does this man’s mind work? - or not work?
Relax?
If I could thank God for only one thing today, it would be that Abazaid is no longer Commanding troops.
Relax?
God help us if any other Commanders still in uniform share his view or have his attitude.

Wussup,

it's sad to see how some Generals have little or no compassion for life. Wonder if they would 'Relax' if they lost one of their kids?!?!

Btw, I will start keeping up with your blogs, I love what you're doing so keep it up bro.

Respect,
Much Love and...
