I said telling a soldier that you don't like him doing what he's doing is much the same as telling a fireman you don't like them putting out fires, telling a cop you don't like them catching criminals. They had never thought of it that way.
It's a shame that too many people today don't seem to understand the military and their role in the world. It's good someone made this point to at least two people.

It certainly IS a shame. And it would be a great surprise to our WWII veterans to know that today's public school-educated American children are not being taught any concept of the valor of serving in the military forces.

I thought the same thing when I read that. I'll try to remember those words should I ever have a conversation similar.
I am also happy to see the crowd getting larger and the troops coming out.
Keep up the great work.
