so full of drama.

sometimes though, you get those moments where honest discussion is going on and a complete stranger does the right thing, and all of a sudden you realize that there are good people in this world.

after the boston marathon bombings, I got a message in my 'others' folder from a random guy.  We don't have mutual friends, but I was highly active on libertarian groups about the happenings in boston. 

One issue that I was really stunned by was the call for people to classify Dzhokhar Tsarnaev (a naturalized citizen) as a domestic terrorist therefore nullifying any rights granted to him by the constitution to a fair trial.  Included in those who called for such actions were military personnel, who are of course, sworn to up hold the constitution of the United States. 

It was one of these soldiers who had messaged me. 

Still don't like the pro Muslim support...and the calls for a fair trial after all the stuff him and his brother did.

I've been over there 4 times. Nothin but hatred. I'm all for peace and understanding but you CANNOT do that with these people. They are truly less than human not because of their race but because of their views of other people in this world.

I get it.  I totally get it, is what I told him.  Your feelings are entirely valid. 

It just really saddens me that he seemed to be kind of surprised that I respected his views.  I don't know if the fact that I am a military wife makes a difference or not.  I have never been to war.  I don't feel like it's my place ever to judge someone when I have not walked in their shoes. This guy... I could tell by his writings, that he has been judged.

yet people wonder why soldiers are committing suicide due to PTSD in alarming numbers.
