Soldiers are guys who train their entire LIVES for an event most of us hope will NEVER happen. When they get a war, it's like Christmas for them Another idiotic remark. You are dumb as a brick. The soldiers who are fighting this war would rather be at home. Every last one of them. But they are willing to do it because there are so many just like you, who simply wouldn't have the balls to do it and it is nasty job that has to be done to preserve our ways of life. I've been on the phone today with a customer/doctor who is a reservist. He is in private practice, and has had to walk away from his practice twice for tours in Iraq -- giving up hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual income and undoubtedly losing significant portions of his patient base in the process only to come back and have to start all over. I can assure you this individual WANTS to here doing what he is trained to do. But he recognized the importance of serving his country. He realized he would not be able to make the decision as to when or where he goes; yet, he had the guts and commitment to do it. It is about integrity. A person of integrity who enjoys the benefits of living in the United States cannot stand idly by without committing SOMETHING to the ante. It is a rhetorical question -- I'm not saying you need to reply -- but have YOU committed anything to the ante? I'm having a tough time seeing what it might of been.
