Diana, I praise your loyalty to our country and also praise you for your service to her.

I joined in 1978, seven days after my last drinking binge as a free man and eight days after graduating high school. I was disappointed not to fight in Viet Nam, as strange as that sounds now. I went to school to be a military police officer, airborne, Ranger, and a sniper. I was involved in three operations during my time in the Army. I was wounded in Germany in 1985 and medically discharged in 1987. I loved the lifestyle in the Army. I loved serving my country. I was proud to protect my country and other countries from communism and any other threat to her. I would rejoin today if I could, but my disabilities won't allow me to.
Every time I see a veteran or active duty military person, I go out of my way to go over to them, shake their hand and thank them for their service to a country who, for the most part now, don't want them to WIN in Iraq and Afghanistan. I dislike and distrust any politician that doesn't WANT a victory, i.e: sKerry, Pelois, etc.... I can't understand why Washington won't let the generals do what they are supposed to do. Kill the enemy and win the war.
Lastly, I apologize to FR'ers for me carrying on. God love us and our country. May He help the politicians see what they are doing is wrong and may He protect the service personnel from danger while they do their duty.

Thank you! For your service and for encouraging those who have signed up! The military families are in a class of patriots - which the left know noting about! (see my webpage) Their only interest is hide and retreat! Not Protect and rescue!

re: "I dislike and distrust any politician that doesn't WANT a victory..."

I'm in agreement with you - the Dems and the media sure are disgusting and treasonous to say the least!
