In reply, first thank you for your bravery and service to our country. Second, I like most people, also believe war should be the last card in the deck, so please don't take me for a loud mouthed combatant.
I do believe, however, that sometimes war IS a viable answer to bring about some measure of peace in the world. For some peoples, who believe as our enemies do, war and death is all they know. For those nations and the terrorists they support, we must be prepared to oblige them. In these times I think people, especially those within our own borders should be toeing the line for "Victory" rather than "Peace at minimal cost"
Unfortunately, most of the citizens that are not "toeing the line" have started to take their freedom for granted...and will stoop to any level to make sure they get to use them whether they are wrong or not...but for a soldier it hurts us more than ever to see our fellow citizens outwardly show disloyal stand on the war we are in...what ever happened to devout PATRIOTISM....
