Boycott

After scanning the headlines and, I admit, reading an article or two, regarding the soldier accused of killing civilians in Afghanistan, I am compelled to start a boycott. I feel such sadness for this man, who has fought as he was told, FOUR TIMES, no less. Four tours of duty in about ten years is more than we should expect from anyone. And now, his family is in the news, their entire lives open for scrutiny, because of this god-awful war. It makes me sick. So, back to my boycott. I refuse to read any more news stories about his financial woes, his family troubles, his mental state, comments from his neighbors, etc, etc, etc. I am going to give him the little bit of privacy I have control over, and I invite you to do the same. Protect this man and his family from the media frenzy. After all, they are convicting him, even while supposedly telling his side. He is accused, not guilty yet. However, these news stories are setting his guilt in stone before he has a chance to be innocent. I'm out.
