I hope you're wrong, too, but just about everything I've seen you post on FR is right.
Question: What do we tell the troops when they come "home" to the United North America? What do we tell the veterans? And what do we tell the souls of those who died fighting for freedom and the U.S.A.? ... when we have piece by piece surrendered those freedoms and now comes the final blow.
As Memorial Day approaches, these are the questions that hurt the most.
I know exactly what you mean. Not only what do we tell our troops but what do we tell the rest our children and grandchildren?
We can blame a lot of people for what has happened to our country but the ultimate responsibility lies with each of us, especially those of us who are older like myself who have been blessed to live in such a great country and should have been harder to fool.
