Ignore the naysayers on this thread. Sorry there are not more like you. Freedom isn't free. My husband and I served during Vietnam. My husband was drafted and I followed. Had to drop out of college. Lost our house since the Army only paid a total of 125.00 a month. Didn't get to go back to school 'til I was forty and had four children. We felt it a priviledge to have served. Probably learned more in two years than any other period of my life.

As far as WW3, how stupid does one have to be to not know it strarted in 1978? As Americans, we have grown soft and kept our heads in the sand for too long. For most, a beer in one hand and a remote in the other is all that's required---and a requirement that none of us rain on their parade.

I dont think people are willing to sacrafice here at home.

We could wake up one morning and gas could be 13.90 a gallon.

People would be jumping up and down, going crazy. People would blame the political party and politicians in power.

People do not want to give up their cable tv and their McDonalds, let alone lights, heating and cooling, technology. What if we had to resort to burning wood for heat and LIGHT ? what if we had to find other ways to get from place to place. we have people in this country that throw a fit about waiting in line at the mall ? WHAT is there are no malls. What if we have to survive as a nation at a time of peril.

the adults of this generation will face huge questions.

What are we willing to sacrafice to save our freedom at home ?

Iran's President saying he would sacrafice half of Iran to destroy Israel. There are people here in the US that would not sacrafice much of anything here to save our freedom.

If we were as passionate about our freedom as the terrorists are about their hate...the war would be over.
