Hi Folks, I am Sarge Charlie, VA Joe’s latest Guest Blogger. Since this is my first effort as a Guest Blogger I hope you will be understanding as I try to get the hang of VA Joe’s site.
I am a Vietnam Veteran, I served 26 years one month and three days in the U.S. Army, of which I have no regrets. I presently enjoy the fruits of my life’s work with my wife Bonnie, know in the blogging world as The Empress Bee of the High Sea I refer to her as Miss Bee. She has two blogs, check them out, you will have fun.

I am approaching my 70th birthday and I love blogging because it allows me to express my personal views, talk about things I love, military service, supporting the troops, and just smacking around any one who speaks bad about a soldier.
I am a Conservative, a Patriot and a person who has seen much of the world during my first 69 3/4 years. During the next half of my life I expect to see the rest of the world.
If you read through my past post, you will see that I am a sentimental old guy who expresses his views with passion, you are allowed to disagree with me but you will always be wrong.
I have a good sense of humor, and I am looking forward to being VA Joe’s Guest Blogger. This is also posted on SARGECHARLIE, please come and visit my blog. I was not smart enough to put photos on VA Joe’s Word Press Blog.

This post is getting a lot of discussion on Hooah Wife and my husband says it is his all time favorite post. So I had to share.
What if the people who originally thought the war was was the right plan of action, continued to support it?
What if the American people demanded we stay the course until the mission was complete?
What if the terrorists knew that the will of the American people was united and would not rest until their heads were served on a platter?
What if the lives of soldiers was jeopardized because they were being used as political pawns?
What if politicians who actually voted to send soldiers off to war, stuck by their decision - for better or worse?
What if the media supported the war efforts?
What if angry anti-war people used their energy to actually help soldiers and their families?
What if we get attacked again on our own soil?
What if you realized today that your personal attitude and efforts can make the job of a soldier much easier?
What if we lose?
What if we win?
What if you were putting your life on the line for a group of people that thought you weren’t doing a job worth doing?
What if someone was standing behind you second-guessing your every move, every second of the day?
What if you were in a soldier’s shoes?

This e-mail hit my in-box today:
Ms. Perry
Just received the latest Inside Northshore and read the article you wrote. Let me ask you a question! Are you simply supporting the soldiers or are you supporting both the soldier and the this Iraq/Aghanistan situation? If you are supporting simple the troops - Go Girl!
If you are supporting this unfounded, unconsciousable, idiopathic, un-winable war, then girl,history will be your judge and reality needs to set in as it has sent in to most of the countrymen in this United States of America.
My answer: Soldiers’ Angels is a non-partisan organization but if you want my opinion on the war read here.Care to discuss.
My thoughts: This high school kid can’t spell, type or use spell-check. This person is media brainwashed!
