My Excuse?

I don't need one! What is yours!

I don't think we should be in either country. I think the invasion of Afghanistan was entirely justified after 9/11 but our contiuned presence in that country is not. And I never believed in the Iraq war. I am 33 but rather fit and just ran the Boston Marathon of which I am rather proud. I had a friend and distant relative who is left wing just join the Marines for officer candidate school even though I advised him against it.

My family has had enough of propaganda wars in WWI, WWII, and Viet Nam.

Why don't you fight them? If you die- that is best. Because if you live with an injury or mental defect- that is hell for years for your family.

I have served this Country for over 27 years. I have served all over the world. This Country was attacked and now were fighting our enemies on their home ground!!!! If you don't like it join our enemies, I'll gladly fight you on the Battlefield!!!!
