Glad to have provided some comedy. Just stated an opinion which comes from years of hearing about military all around the world in hell holes doing everything not seemingly related to what one would think the military is for: defense and to wage war. On the other hand, I see your points and they are well taken.
Thank you for taking it as it was meant. My husband has been a Marine for 15 years. He's actually seen it all, this last time coming home in parts. This has been hard on him, everything going on in the world around him and he's used to being in the center of it helping. Now he sits on the sidelines and helps the ones getting ready to leave make sure they have what they need.
