TRUSTING OUR MEN OVERSEAS TO DO THE RIGHT THING

Americans, as a whole, are idealists. American soldiers overseas, even though in a strange land, with languages and religions quite foreign to them, still try to make friends. They've helped cement relationships with other countries after the battles, and even during those battles. No other nation possesses soldiers like ours.

Oh sure, there are always some bad apples in the bunch. It cannot be avoided. There are temptations to which they succumb, and that cannot be avoided. But, overall, they well respresent us and our ideals. I trust them. We all should do so, and we should let them know it at every opportunity.

I am not ashamed to be a Patriotic American. I am ashamed of what goes on in many of our American colleges and universities today, full of Socialists and Communists on the teaching staffs. I say that any time a student finds the teacher preaching leftist garbage or downgrading America, that the student has a right to challenge it, to debate it right then and there. I know that I would do so.

We should also challenge such writers as Alexander Cockburn, Robert Sheer, and their ilk, both by email and Letters to the Editor. Not hate messages, because that does not accomplish anything, but short, well reasoned answers to their liberal diatribes
