I’m against all forms of terrorism. I’m against all forms of political violence. I think each and every act and actor should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Whether that be at a riot in Chicago, Minneapolis, or even in Washington DC.

But the thought of comparing January 6 to the September 11 attack or to the attack at Pearl Harbor is not just disingenuous, it’s heartless, idiotic, and cowardice. Anybody that would use the two most significant events in American history that led to our two most deadly wars

should be ashamed, and any politician that would even utter such a comparison should be voted out or impeached. September 11 started a war against radical extremists that lasted for 20 years. Thousands of American soldiers were killed in combat and 2,977 died on the day

I appreciate that some people are upset with my presence in Afghanistan. I have no desire to lash out. I assume they are trying to accomplish their missions the same way I am trying to accomplish mine, and I love them for it. A few things, though:

1) I was not running around on my own. The Army doesn’t care that I have a lot of followers. It’s their battle space. The group I was attached to as a volunteer was listed in the command center as a supporting element. We were part of the team. Were that not the case,

I would not have been allowed to run around outside the wire.
2) People have referred to it as “Tim Kennedy’s Team.” That’s false and does a disservice to the the talented Team Leader a JPRA (joint personnel recovery agent) who has 10 years more experience than I do,

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS.
Read it with your family.
Read it with your friends.
Read it in the streets.
Them remember it.

In Congress, July 4, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have

connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the

separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted

I will celebrate the Fourth of July by being free. Free of fear. Free of Tyranny. Free of unfair taxation. Free from the government dictating what freedoms I’m permitted. Free of all the things that we fought for during our revolutionary war. WE CAN be free again.

Our independence was won by the individual choosing freedom. At a time when We The People was the thing to be feared. I will remember the American courage that was the foundation of our united strength.

No one especially the government gets to tell us what we going to do with our families. No one especially the government gets to tell us what we are going do in our backyards. No one especially the government has the authority to dictate what freedoms we have.

I find it infuriating to see the outrage over our soldiers sleeping at the capital. We have been at war for nearly 20 years. We have had soldiers sleep on the dirt floors of bathrooms in peasant villages. We have had soldiers electrocuted in showers built by local contractors.

We have had our soldiers blown up, maimed, tortured, burned alive, and hung from bridges. But now there is outrage because our soldiers are sleeping on the marble floors of our capital. Wherever you assign our military you will find sleeping soldiers.

They will sleep on everything and under anything. How many of our soldiers are sleeping in the sand in foreign lands tonight? I’m glad that they are there. I’m glad that they are going to ensure a peaceful transition of power.

You said you would never forget. But judging by your actions, you forgot. These men and women will recklessly abandon any version of self-preservation for the protection of their community. They are still the same men and women that stand in front of you today.

They are not perfect but I know they care. I know they’ll do anything to include giving their own lives to protect you. They will die excruciating deaths from the most torturous forms of cancer from running into chemical dust clouds of falling buildings.

They’ll run into a burning building only to have it collapse on top of their heads in an effort to save your life. They haven’t changed.... You have. They still love you and are at the other end of the phone anytime you are in need.
