Amazing

I'm with you,

I have talked to dozens of people who when it gets onto the topic of the Army, they ask me whats going on over there. Or worse still they ask me how I feel about fighting a losing war. (Yes I have been asked that!).

I start off by advising them that I'm not in yet and then proceed to give them the FACTS that 'our' congress gets everyday. I almost always get the question "Why isn't this in the papers". I just nod and smile.

Amazing, truly amazing.
