Who then celebrates the heroism of these young warriors? Who even knows about them? How many can we name from memory? When was the last time we saw newspapers and television networks clamoring for print and air time to interview and tell the stories of young American service members who did great and selfless things for his or her buddies? Why isn’t the heroism of our service people sought out and reported on with the same intensity as the misdeeds and alleged misdeeds of a few, not to mention the negative news that streams daily from the front lines through our media? Why aren’t they brought into school assemblies as strong, positive examples of true sacrifice on behalf of our country?


You guys just don't get it.........and you don't want to get it. Iraq is not WW II where American troops were defending the country against three dangerous enemies. Iraq is Vietnam where we are sticking the American nose into the business of other countries because there is a group of ideological idiots in DC who think its important for a whole host of questionable reasons.

And they've got you all who have the enabling genes that make you want to wave the red, white and blue at a moment's notice ready to organism.

Iraq was a big mistake from the get go. Its cost us a small fortune in lives, money and global goodwill. I don't want to hear about heroes; I want to get American troops home in one piece. <end of story>
