Good Christian girl

The package contained a letter that read Dear soldier; I had received many of these during a long deployment. A bulk of these care packages from American citizens ended up in the hands of troops with the highest moral, while the grunts sleeping in an armored vehicle got relatively few. Usually they contain stuff that will survive the trip across the great pond such as baby wipes, foot powder, snacks, pens papers, mouthwash, and from time to time photos of girls wishing to express their level of patriotism by varying degrees of nakedness. These women or girls seem to be caught up in the flurry of patriotic emotions that always follow the army at the start of a campaign. I would much rather see these people taking some initiative where it counts at the polls and stop mixing religion and politics. This may sound odd coming from a person who has given a good portion of his adult life to the service of a nation but any real soldier does not revel in armed conflict, not all of us desire anything more than to shed blood in the name of the American people. True we were attacked on 9/11 but Saddam had nothing to do with that the world is a far more dangerous place as a result of our incursion into Iraq. Anyhow many of these photos came with letters talking about devotion to duty and then merging into a lecture about a love for Jesus. When ever I am introduced to women who is as touted as a good Christian girl my mind drifts back to many of photos I received from just such a person and somewhere in the back of my mind a little voice is whispering “Good Christian girl… yes very good indeed”
