I know you pulled your post, but I still think this is fitting, and clearly represents how most of us here feel:

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

-- John Stuart Mill


I've had that quote on my profile since 9/11 and it clearly serves us now.

To all who shall see these presents greetings knowing that reposing special trust and confidence in the fidelity, valor patriotism of the Warrior Nurse I do appoint him a Lieutenant in the US NAVY

This is what the President says to all the officers of the Military. We are trained professionals something that the peaceniks can't grasp. It is us against them they hate our way of life and they hate our freedoms. I gave my word and took an oath to protect those freedoms just as my father did 50 years before me. So let it be known that I am willing to die for what I believe in. What are the peaceniks willing to die for?
