Whoa, time out......
Doc, you and I have made a concious choice to go places and do things without the support of "Big Army" and popular opinion behind us.....we are not in that same situation today.
Today, we are asking American kids, some right out of high school to go to Iraq and "fight terrorism on the streets of Iraq so that we wont have to fight terrorism on the streets of America (President Bush, Ft Carson, 2004).
Maybee that kid, what appears to be truck driver, needs something to look at to remind him why he is over there.....if for no other reason than to maintain his morale, and his discipline to do the right thing.
I'll never understand how we as the only world superpower can determine it right to send 200,000 troops overseas, then politicaly tell those involved they cant be proud of what they are doing, or proud of from where they've come becasue it may hurt somebodies feelings......
If you still feel this way, maybee you should read Ralph Peters Essay titled "when devils walk the earth" which addresses exactly how a superpower should deal with the enemy we are currently facing right now?
What I continue to see in the news is not a powerful display of resolve, but of compromise......
just my .02, as a gunfighter
