These people have no idea what military life is like.
Prior to the current war on terror, Soldiers, Sailors,Airmen and Marines were already serving in remote
outposts far from family and friends.Although not engaged
in direct combat,they were in harm's way. Everyone who has
served during a "peacetime deployment" has a memory of those who were killed in training or had their spouse leave them.
Our current military is doing what many of us have done in the past. They accept it as their duty. It is our duty to
appreciate their sacrifice and honor their service.
We should enjoy the life and liberty they make possible.
Semper Fi.
