Can you imagine…
… if you’re son is deployed to Afghanistan, and you suddenly hear this? (WARNING: Graphic language and sounds)
Apparently, this soldier accidentally pressed the redial button on his cellphone when he was in the middle of a firefight with the Taliban. His family got to hear the details of the attack and was horrified when the call was cut off right after someone yelled, ” Incoming! RPG!”
It turns out that the soldier, whose name is Stephen Phillips, got out of the fight alive and well.
This incident was just yet another reminder that we are facing a tough and resilient enemy. Should we fail in our efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Islamofascist disease come here. It is easy to blame President Bush and go along our merry way. It is not so easy, however, to blame him when we recognize that President Bush is the only man who stood and still stands in the way of this madness and our country.
Whatever you think of the man, he has been steadfast and immovable when everyone wanted him to retreat and withdraw, including the Republicans. He has capitulated on virtually everything in his second term as President… but not this.
