Well, to be perfectly honest with you, Coop, those on this forum who degrade this mission in Iraq and the military efforts there as meaningless, DO hurt those of us who have sons and husbands there.

And all their claims that they care for the troops don't hold water in light of the fact that the continually bash every military effort there.

Iron Hammer to them was an empty PR effort by a President who only went to Iraq for political gain. The truth is, that if coalition casualties are down 70% because of it, then my son is 70% safer now than he was before, and that is not meaningless.

I think some apologies in order. But they will never come.

I completely agree with you. Perhaps you misunderstood my above comment?? I don't have a family member over there (though I do have some friends), so I personally don't need an apology. But you and other families deserve one.
