Well Grampa, just sit in your rocking chair and and try and turn this war into WW11 or Vietnam with your little tin soldiers till the cows come home if it makes you happy.

I prefer to listen to my husband, a retired high ranking officer after 38 years active duty, who is in daily contact with others who have a lot more knowledge of the build up and progress in Iraq than you could ever have, and boots on the ground i.e. our son who was killed in Iraq and our SIL who is at present on his 3rd tour.

As for replying to this post, forget it as it will be ignored.

Sorry your son died, I respect his service and sacrifice.

But you didn't answer my arguments, you're a name caller and not worth arguing with.

And by the way--I served in the 1980's, and am probably younger than you.
