The post wasn't about what I do or don't do to support our troops, you know that but took it as your opportunity to have your little rant while trying to put down my Christian beliefs. If I, and thousands of other Christians, choose to pray for the safety of our troops that's our right and is not for you to ridicule. Course, you may have been having a really bad day and since you're probably too busy writing to the troops to do so, I'll pray you have a better day tomorrow.

It would make their day a lot better than asking for help from an invisible person. I understand that it would take more time to do this than just saying something before you eat but it would do more for the moral to them than you could even imagine. Stop passing the buck to God and make it your business to make their days that much better with your kind words. Sorry but nothing bothers me more than when someone says I'll pray for you I would rather have them write me. I'm here, I'm in danger I need to hear your words more than he does. As an ex-service member this is only one mans opinion but please heed it. As the old saying spit in one hand, well you know the rest. Don't only talk about it that does nothing take action, true action not just some symbolic action.
