[Grovenet] A Different Christmas Poem

[Geri]

Yes, I recall that, too: the messing around with the overseas
ballots back then.  I find it heartbreaking that those of honor
with the intent to serve our USA through military duty, are
doing so and risking all they have because of the greed and
other unjust agendas of the war criminals we currently have
in office (through a stolen election, no less).

To me, "supporting the troops" doesn't mean saying to them
"Rah, rah, rah!" or putting on a bumper sticker.  Maybe send
them *prepared.*  Maybe count their votes.  Maybe make
darned sure they and their families are taken care of when
they return injured and/or with PTSD.  It's even sad that so
many troops have been cut off from knowing more of the truth
behind the whole operation.

And thanks for the links, David.
