Marines in Israel

 An article on CNN by Barbara Starr, entitled US sends warships near Israel In Case Evacuation Needed, is about warships that are being used to evacuate people from Israel if needed.
In the artcies Starr states,"This is due diligence. It is better to be prepared should there be a need," one official said Monday. Both officials said the ships would be used only for assisting Americans and not for any combat role." The ships are not being taken over to Israel to use in the Israel-Ghaza conflict, but merely just to evacuate Americans out of Israel. It would also be more safe to use these warships in case of an attack, warships would be more prepared to protect the passengers.
In the article Starr says, "The most immediate impact will be on the ships' crews and the estimated 2,500 Marines on board. They had been scheduled to return to Norfolk, Virginia, just after Thanksgiving; their homecoming will now be delayed several days depending on events, the officials said." Among these soldiers some of them are getting to come home for the holidays, but since the conflict has US citizens involved the soldiers are doing their part and protecting their people. Even though it is hard not seeing your family and the best time of the year, their families should be happy for what these soldiers are doing for their country.
 Lastly Starr explains, "The U.S. military also maintains three to four ships off the coast of Israel that are capable of shooting down ballistic missiles. That deploymentt has stretch for some months in the face of a potential ballistic threat from Iran." Our military is not only helping the American citizens in Israel, but helping protect Israel. Our military is going to help Israel in any way they possibly can, and that is all anyone can ask for.
 The people in our country should take after our military, we should not only help out the people we care about and know, but also the people that are outside of our little "cliques."
 Knowing that our military is helping out fellow American Citizens instead of coming home for the holidays is upsetting, considering my uncle is in the military, but if that means another family gets to see their loved one again, that is quite alright. People need to put other people before theirsleves, and this country would be a much better place than it is now.

"Political Parties"

    When it comes to people and their "political party" some take their beliefs way too far. Becoming very upset, people end friendships and have heated arguments. It should not matter what political party you belong to, doing what is best for your country should be your main concern. People say you should not believe this or you should not believe that, people are too busy worrying about what a certain group of people think and not worried about what is best for this country. Yes, some beliefs should be taken into concideration, but when a person does not agree on something just because it came from a certain person that belongs to a specific group of people, that is taking it just a little too far. Political advisers need to have America in mind, not just theirselves. America need to be put back on track, becoming the best nation we can be.
