Funny thing that all the people eager for action are not active duty military. I don't know how old the rest of you are but I remember as a new recruit in 65 there was the same kick their butts talk as now. We all know how that turned out. The easy victory we expected did not happen. Not because we could not win but because of treachery within. The same mind set still dominates the media. If this action doe's not go well look for the same "WE told you so", type of propaganda to result. It is real easy to get into a war. It might not be so easy to get out. The nation may be united now but if things go badly either at home or where ever the action takes place look for the populace to start looking for someone to blame. I doubt very much that this will be a cakewalk like Desert Storm. Just some things to think about.

A friend of mine who was part of a bomber crew until she retired recently for medical problems wishes she were already in the air over the Middle East.
