This is another act of stupidity
and people gone wild. An innocent soldier
celebrating the end of his service with his friends was attacked and killed
because he was white. The police in Lakewood , Washington reported that black men in a car yelled “cracker” repeated as the soldiers were
walking along the sidewalk. The two
groups confronted each other but the report stated that the driver called it
off after learning the soldiers were combat veterans. But, one jerk wanted to be bad and stabbed
Army Specialist Tevin Geike as they were leaving. Not only are soldiers sacrificing their lives
for our freedom everyday, we have jerks like this taking their sacrifices for
our freedom for granted. I still believe
that the draft for military service should be reinstated. It should be for all dropouts from the ages
of 17-19 and mandatory for that same age group even if they have found a
stabile career. Shameful. This country has enough problems already
between the races and it seems to get worse everyday.
Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.
