Be viligent, America. Listen, watch, and know that we are being “brainwashed” little by little by the present regime in Washington. Giving the death of Tillman much press and celebrity and yet hardly recognizing the death of an American soldier by a Muslim, should help to open your eyes.

Notice the reasoning this Muslim gives for killing a beloved innocent soldier. He considers it “justified.” This is what the Muslims are being taught in their schools and mosques. And we Christians are led to believe the Muslim faith is all about love. No, America, it is about taking over and ridding the world of the “infidels.”

Wake up, America. This will soon be all too common. The POTUS is at the helm and somehow has already instilled fear in the minds of anyone who has an opposing view.

I’m very grateful that my daughter is no longer in the service. She was in the Army for 10 years and participated in the Hometown Recruiter’s Assistance Program several times.

I fear there will be more attacks like this since Muslim extremists are no longer considered a threat but Americans with conservative views are….

The primary battleground between western civilization and the insurgent forces of religious oppression and fanaticism has been there, away from our shopping malls, our places of business and leisure.

Now, we’re beginning to see it come home.

This soldier died in the line of duty and deserves due honor and decorum. He sacrificed his life for his country as surely as any who have died overseas in combat. I can’t recall the number of flag-draped caskets I bore to their final resting place while I served on Honor Guard from 2002-2005, but the motto, and mission, of our unit still sticks with me:

“To Honor With Dignity”

Farewell Pvt Long, may your peace be deep and may you rest in the shade of the cross of Jesus.

What a brave sacrifice in service to his country.

What a coward is the terrorist who gunned him down in cold blood.

What an utter, pathetic disgrace of a CiC we have who was more moved and stricken by the murder of a heinous murderer than by the sacrifice of one of the men that his is privilege to command.

RIP at His side, Private Long.

sacrifice of this good young man at the hands of a coward, nor will we forget that it took the CinC of this nation at least two days to even speak of Pvt. Long and his fellow soldier and, at that, to portray him as less of a victim than George Tiller.

No, we will never forget, not as long as we draw breath.

More folks should hear of the service and bravery of the Longs.

God rest Private Long’s soul.

Take Care, mailloux

But it makes me so mad for the lack of sympathy and genuine caring from many in the nation, as well as the administration.

We shall not forget.

And I am vengeful. Regardless of whether this is acted on in any significant way by the obsequious, sniveling Obama administration that is embarrassed by both this great nation and its great military, this will be avenged.
