Yes, it does. For the right reasons.


Not to diminish the contributions all who sacrifice make, but at the onset of casualties, there was alot of sniping, giving the impression that many had come to think of the service as a College aid or Jobs program without giving real thought as to what they were getting into.


Here, you had a man, with a career 99.9% can only dream of, making millions of dollars a year, and he walked away to do what he thought was right, fully knowing what he was getting into.

Ironic isn't it. During the last administration, it used to be said, that only in America could a draft dodger sleep IN the White House while a Veteran sleeps on the strets in front of it, and Now, we lost a man that gave up a lucrative career, to serve in the war, while a guy that served in the war as a stepping stone to a political career runs for the WH.
