I was reading some stuff on sites I got to every day, and came across an story about election night in Afghanistan. The story is really good, and sums up a lot about how I feel. You see my brother is in the Army. If you knew him growing up you would of never thought he would be in the military, and especially in the Special Forces. He has done a lot for his country, and I get sick and tired of people in this country who don’t get it. They can say they support the troops, but there actions do not show the same. The reason I am saying this is evident in the comments posted about the story. Please take a few minutes and read the aricle. The read the comments and you will understand completely.

- You cannot lift the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer.
- You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
- You cannot establish sound security on borrowed money.
- You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
- You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.
- You cannot build character and courage by destroying men’s initiative and independence.
- And you cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they can and should do for themselves.
