My son spent 16 months in Afganastan, and is now in Iraq. He is a Sgnt. in the Army. His wife hates Bush and the Army, it seems to be the wifes are not too supportive of their husbands mission. I noticed this in Air Force wives also.
Thank your son for me, please. I'm sorry that his wife feels the way she does, but I do understand why. What wife would want their husband to be in a war where they might be killed at any second. Especially if they have children.
However, supporting this mission is, or should be, a priority for all Americans. Sadly, it is not. People have placed their own well being above that of Iraqi citizens or this nation. This mentality could very well be the death nell for all of us unless we find a way to counter this line of thinking. I hate that my son is in a war. I hate that war is necessary. But, I understand what is at stake and I and my wife stand behind our troops and their mission 100%. "We Will Not Tire, We Will Not Falter, We Will Not Fail". Those words hold meaning, and should echo throughout this land.
