The Truly Great Ones

Nutter Loc: Fly Over Zone
 
Would someone please remind me again how
many of today’s Hollywood elite put their careers on
hold to enlist in Iraq or Afghanistan?
The only one who even comes close was Pat Tillman,
who turned down a contract offer of $3.6 million over
three years from the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the
US Army after September 11, 2001, and serve as a
Ranger in Afghanistan, where he died in 2004.
But rather than being lauded for his choice and his
decision to put his country before his career, he was
mocked and derided by many of his peers.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit to you that this is
not the America today that it was seventy years ago.
And I, for one, am saddened. My generation
grew up watching, being entertained by and laughing
with so many of these fine people, never really knowing
what they contributed to the war effort. Like millions of
Americans during the WWII, there was a job that needed
doing they didn’t question, they went and did it, those
that came home returned to their now new normal life
and carried on, very few ever saying what they did or
saw. They took it as their “responsibility”, their “duty”
to Country, to protect and preserve our freedoms and way
of life, not just for themselves but for all future
generations to come. As a member of a later generation,
I’m forever humbly in their debt.

It is a simple fact of life that no nation, no matter it's founding principles, can last forever. America has lasted longer than most, but the end is in sight. We have rejected the Christian principles that our culture was founded upon, and history shows what, without exception, happens after this occurs. Every culture has been founded on religious principles. When the people reject those principles, moral and cultural decay are the inevitable result.

Hopefully Trump can reverse this with the help of the American people but they won't be helped by the liberals in this country who only want to destroy us. It may come down to a civil war after all.
