I am at it again with the music quotes, this time its a classic from White Snake thats right that 80's rock group with the huge blond hair!
Well to get to the story behind this choice, as i am on my 4th deployment i am laughing at how messed up the route into that area is. I am sitting at and Air Base in Kyrgyzstan (the one you hear about on the news that the Russians are trying to bribe the local government to close down) i have been here for almost a week. I am waiting to get another flight out to get to my next destination. I am not going to go into the cost of us flying to 3 bases before finally getting an airlift to our fire base, because i am sure you can figure it out. Especially with our economy the way it is.
What i will mention is something i find even funnier. when that bit came out on the news about the offer there was a local national watching it and laughing about it, it appeared that he supported the idea, i calmly mentioned to him that when they take the money and don't pay it back the Russains will calmly invade them again (does Georgia ring a bell). I also mentioned that as soon as we leave he needed to find a new job as he will be jobless. Funny part was the look on his face when i finished.
So i guess in a way there is more than one reason for the title.
Something else to ponder and i think a lot of America's current problems stem from this one simple fact. People are very short sited. They cant see past the bubble they live in. they fail to see the full picture of life and the world around them.
People see a bad economy so they want to throw money at it............... Doesn't work when we are already broke.
People see a war they don't like so they want to run away from that..............Does Vietnam ring a bell, we cant tuck our tail and run it destroys the military and the country's standing.
People see a prison they don't agree with so they want to close it.............. what do we do with all the bad people there i wonder????????
just something to think about.
