I always wonder in times like these what we would've done had George Washington decided he'd done his part and packed it up and went home no matter what the size of the U.S. Military.
And having spent six years on active duty myself, I can say that being deployed, bites period, but it must be done for the cause of liberty. "We will not fail. We will not falter," President Bush says.
And to that end, we must vigorously pursue terrorism or we can all pack it up and go home all the while cow towing to a bunch of murderous thugs.
