It may be their last mission, and God knows this is combat. But if the vets win, they win not just for today and this election, they win at last the war that they could have won, if the politicians and the liberal braying donkeys had not undermined them. The vets came back to an America that cold-shouldered them unfairly, an America that mocked what they had fought for and maligned their integrity as men and as soldiers. We non-soldiers can now repair the breach and reclaim our honor (they never lost theirs, even when the punks and the kids were screaming "baby-killer" at them). We owe them for their sacrifice, for the sacrifice of all those who never made it back. By rejecting that phony Kerry, that self-invented war "hero," that opportunistic SOB, we civilians can at long last give them the smart salute they deserved when they alit from their planes, war weary and bloodied. "Well done, good and faithful men of honor."
Very well said.
