You need to do some research on what really goes on at the DMZ. Those fairy tales you've been reading are not accurate. Our soldiers really do go out on patrol in the DMZ. When they encounter North Koreans, do you think they sit down over a cup of tea and have a nice friendly chat? What exactly do you think is going on there? What do you think has prevented Seoul from being wiped off the map? Kind words from Kerry? Before you jump all over someone, and call men who have been there liars, you really should find out the truth. It's disheartening to see people claiming to support our troops on one hand, and on the other hand calling them liars for claiming there are patrols at the DMZ. You don't seem to mind them protecting your freedoms, so long as you don't have to admit that's what they're doing. It's a big world out there, and just because the media is focused on Iraq, doesn't mean the rest of our troops are sitting around admiring their manhood.
