A Message From A Soldier is a FAKE!!

I forwarded this e-mail earlier today and posted it. I have just amazing friends! One said she googled the soldier's name and his blog had been shut down for violations. And she said she had recieved this e-mail three times and the soldier was in a different branch of the military each time!! Crazy! And another friend of mine sent me the Snopes link, which is below.

I just don't understand how people can lie? And I participated willingly! I'm so against Obama, I didn't check the e-mail out before I forwarded it to every single person in my address book!! I'm going to have to start checking on things!

So, if you recieved the e-mail from me it's a FAKE!!!!

Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along
that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit
to "The War Zone". I wanted to share with you what happened.
He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to
meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram.

As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't
say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he
finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent
that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so
he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned
the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for th eir service.

So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home
that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to
make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are
providing the freedom that they are providing for you.

I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas
Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the
President of the United States. I just don't understand how anyone would
want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to
be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.

If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I
wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you
see in the news is all fake.
