Ban Muslims? These Christians in Georgia say that would be a big mistake.

Someone will equate the old saying in FMJ "The only good Gook is a dead gook". If I have the movies mixed up correct me. 2017's version is "A dead Muslin is the only good Muslim". WHY do we have to strip the humanity off them? I know in the heat of battle or on mission, you would do that on a moments notice. It's supposed to make killing if necessary "if needed". Now that you're back in the States, you do the same thing here. WHY? We all are guilty of this. I'm trying to stop my role in this, and maintain vigilance without over doing it. There is an Afghan store 30 minutes from my house, the food is good, but while I am buying his food, I'm talking to him. I look at everything and try to relax. He has not personally done anything wrong to me or anyone I know. I like this place because he talked about the many hurtles he went through to get here and how happy he was to finally make it a part of him. I knew for my terps to come home they had to hand over $3k to get it started, and there will be more before they can come here. I was in RC East, he was either south or west. Forgiving takes a LOT of time, and it might not even happen. I'm going to give it a honest try. He knew I was military the second I cam in. This is my way of making myself "clean". I'm dirty as hell with all the emo baggage I carry. I'm going to use him as a means to help me. I'm going to go back and say hello. It's the right thing to do and both are winning something in the process. Maybe one day, I'll be able to use the word "friend". Would be nice.

America the great melting pot

Interesting that we are still taking Trump's statement out of context and making stories out of them, especially since he's never taken any action at all that would agree with that out of context statement.
