This was sent to me, not my son.
Love This Comeback !!!!!
One of my sons serves in the military. He is still stateside, here in
California . He called me yesterday to let me know how warm and
welcoming people were to him and his troops everywhere he goes,
telling me how people shake their hands and thank them for being
willing to serve and fight for not only our own freedoms, but so that
others may have them also.
But he also told me about an incident in the grocery store he stopped
at yesterday on his way home from the base. He said that ahead of
several people in front of him stood a woman dressed in a burkha.
He said when she got to the cashier she loudly remarked about the
U.S. flag lapel pin the cashier wore on her smock. The cashier reached
up and touched the pin, and said proudly, 'Yes, I always wear it and
probably always will..'
The woman in the burkha then asked the cashier when she was going to
stop bombing her countrymen, explaining that she was Iraqi.
A gentleman standing behind my son stepped forward. Putting his arm
around my son's shoulders and nodding towards my son, he said in a
calm and gentle voice to the Iraqi woman: 'Lady, hundreds of
thousands of men and women like this young man have fought and died so
that YOU could stand here, in MY country and accuse a check-out
cashier of bombing YOUR countrymen. It is my belief that had you been
this outspoken in YOUR own country, we wouldn't need to be there
today. But, hey, if you have now learned how to speak out so loudly
and clearly, I'll gladly buy you a ticket and pay your way back to
Iraq so you can straighten out the mess in YOUR country that you are
obviously here in MY country to avoid. Everyone within hearing
distance cheered!

I doubt very much that she would have been so openly vocal back in Iraq. How quaint that she decides to be critical of the USA, where she chooses to live, as opposed to calling out problems in Iraq. I guess conditions were better under Sadam . . . .
People who want to change things should clean their own house first . . . .

It's amazing to me just how so many people immigrate to America and then try their best to change it to the place they had to abandon.
