I would not have taken the same position as he did.
I have a Son in the Airforce and he served two tours in Iraq and one in Kwait.
He may be going to Korea again shortly. He served there for a year a while back.
Your son deserves so much better than what the American voters gave him in 2008. I get sick to my stomach whenever I think about what we owe those guys compares to what we have given them. I will never stop fighting for them, in grateful thanks and respect for their willingness to fight for me.
And the same holds true for you too, since you’ve served honorably.
