World Peace --- Thank you Chris Moy

I know it has been quite some time since I posted anything.

However, a video on YouTube made me want to blog.
I found a video on YouTube about the war in Iraq, this is already a touchy subject with my at the moment being as a girl I think of as a big sister will be going there in August. So, this video proclaims to be showing the "Truth" about the war and all the stuff the media doesn't show.
Which is 100% true, the media doesn't show the downfall to war, they don't show the women and children that are killed every day because of war, they don't show the innocent people that have never harmed anybody laying on the street, covered in blood. No, that wouldn't be a good press story now would it??

Well, that wasn't really what made me want to blog.
In the video discription, the person who posted it had a whole thing about why war was bad basically and talking about our troops being forced to go over there and serve this country. There were a lot of angry post to that part and I read a few, even some solders replied and one was a wife of a soldier who is currently serving.

Now, I support our troops because I know they are people, I understand why they are doing it, I understand they love this country with all their heart and want to do anything to protect and serve the people in it. I know a million people that have served or is currently serving, I know anywhere from Vietnam veterans, Korea vets (one including my own grandaddy) and even a few Desert Storm vets, I know people who were serving during 9/11 and I support ALL OF THEM.

They are my family, my friends...and they are our past and our future.
Why wouldn't someone support them??

So yes. I do support our troops, very much so.
However, I DO NOT SUPPORT WAR
and I definitely do not like war. This was the point I made in the comment I left on that video.
and as I said on there, now more then ever do I want world peace so our troops can come home and enjoy this country they love so much.

That is where the thank you goes to Chris Moy.
He supports world peace so much, and I guess until now, when my big sister is leaving to go to Iraq, where the war is, in just 4 and a half short months...Now more then ever I understand why he promotes world peace so much. I guess it took it hitting close to home to really understand it.
So, whether you ever read this or not Chris, thank you. Really.
