I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here because you're probably a pretty decent guy. The problem that people are having with you, is that you have taken all of the pain, loss, fear, chaos, death, noise, smell, loneliness, and any number of other things that occur in combat, and called it a cake walk.

I'm not saying that you don't have some valid points, I'm just saying that it wasn't a cake walk.

Right -- they don't understand the first thing about war, or about warriors.

The soldiers and their families *want* to hear it's been a cakewalk. They *want* to hear we've been winning big.

But the "politically correct" movement has so taken over people's minds that we can't even understand what 'victory' is all about, or why it's a good thing.

You finally get to the point.

If you want to do something really constructive, you might suggest a different term than "cakewalk" that doesn't offend you.
