More shameless propaganda

Here is the opinion of Michael Strahan, New York Giant Defensive End, on the War in Iraq:

I'm the son of an Army Major Gene Strahan. You can call me an army brat. I grew up in Mannheim, Germany and spent alot of time all over the United States. One stop on my fathers tour was Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. We were also stationed at Fort Bragg, NC where my father was in the 82nd Airborne Division.... It is amazing that someone would be so considerate for the welfare of others that may be married with children and also for others as well as your own neices and nephews. As someone here at home that grew up on military bases it is great to see that the commitment to country and the people of the world that my father believed in is being carried on by someone like yourself. As a member of the New York Giants you have the opportunity to play the biggest and best sport in the country. Sometimes you take for granted the opportunities you do have. You sometimes forget that there are people out there who make sure that you are able to do what you do safely without fear. Alot of the time you are complimented on how tough you are and how hard your job must be and sometimes you buy into it until comfronted with the situation that we are in right now. What you and the rest of the troops are doing right now is beyond my comprehension. The desire, skill and training that it takes to hang in there in the conditions that you deal with is harder than any two a day practice any sprint and any situation that we have to go through.

Growing up I just knew my dad was in the military and that he loved what he did. In Mannheim he commanded the 1st Combat Equipment Company. I remember him jumping out of planes with the 82nd Airborne Division and I remember him spending a year away from myself and my five brothers and sisters when he was stationed in Korea. And as I saw it that is who he was and what he did. Because of his military ********** I learned discipline and about hard work. I also learned how to make a bed with tight corners and to polish boots(mostly his). My father was and still is the biggest influence in my life although he is now retired he and I still talk about everything going on in the military and we are both extremely proud of what you all are doing for us.

When it comes to my personal feelings on the war it is hard for anybody to say that they wish we were at war. But I know that it was necessary and warranted. With all the injustice that has been going on in Iraq over the reign of Saddam Hussein it was inevitiable that some solution would have to come. I realize that without the policies and leadership role of the United States none of us would be able to do and enjoy what we do. So I understand that there are reasons that we are at war, some we know about and some we don't. I think in most cases it is best we don't know about alot of the reasons because I don't think anyone here would be able to function the way that we are functioning now. So I applaud you, love you and appreciate you for all that you are doing for me, my family and the familys around the world that value and know what freedom is about.

As for the sentiment of the nation, I think that we are behind you. On ESPN yesterday it showed the applause given at the singing of the national anthem at ballparks around the country and that signified to me that we understand and that we are behind everyone of you 100%. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and there have been some that have not been the most supporting of the war in Iraq, but I think what was lost in some of those opinions is that even if you support the actions of the United States it doesn't mean that you necessarily wanted a war to break out. Again, I just want to say to you that we are behind the United States actions and the sentiment of the nation is positive with the mission that you are being asked to fulfill. You all definitely inspire us to be giving, unselfish and committed to helping others. Last but not least, BE SAFE AND GOD BLESS.

Thank you for protecting all of us.
