I can’t imagine that, but then again, I know a lot more about the military, and about what is going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, than the average citizen. I would love to know/understand it better. I guess I just haven’t been in situations where I see average citizens interacting with folks like you and the military folks on this thread.

This is a really troubling thing, but I’m not sure what the answer is. In trying to understand it, I’m thinking that all the “Iraq war bad! Bush evil!” political propaganda we all heard for almost 7 years had to be part of the root of the problem.

Thanks for your kind post.

I'm OK with it....I came to terms with it after my first year over here.

I'm writing a book. It's cathartic and who knows? Maybe it will get published and some people will want to buy it. :)
