Shame

The other day I was watching a show about the war and the men and women who are fighting and returning home, less than whole. The show was about the lack of treatment for those individuals who actually made it home. Even if you do not support the war (which I don't) you have to support those individuals who are struggling to overcome the mental and physical wounds from being in this war. I was ashamed (but not suprised) by the treatment of these men and women. If the government (namely the President) puts us in a position of putting lives at risk to defend a political position, then why are they not held accountable for making sure that when our men and women return they are given the kind of care the President himself would receive? I wish I could say that this is not normal behavior from our government, but we all know (at least any of us with a brain) that to our government we are all disposable. I pray the with the New Year and a new President we can bring these issues to the front and find an end to a war that we should never have engaged in to begin with. So the bottom line is this we, as a society, will be judged on how we treat our children, old people and people who sacrifice greatly to maintain their (and hopefully our) ideals....... where do you stand in the judgment? Can you say you have done everything to make your part of the world a better place? Do you turn a blind eye to injustice? Look the other way when you know someone is in need? I remind you that when Jesus or his angels visit they do not look like Heaven but often look like the beggar on the street......will you turn a blind eye or will you receive him with open arms? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Have a blessed day and a better tomorrow.
