As always, thanks for your service.



I agree. One of the main reasons I couldn't support Hillary in '08, even though I think she is doing a decent job as SoS.

All along Afghanistan, while probably 5+ years too long, was justified. Iraq, I have to disagree, and have been personally consistent on this.
This does not demean what you and your troops did, you guys did/are doing an exemplary job. Support the troops, if not the war...
I just don't get how you can say that America "started" the conflict with Japan in WWII. We didn't engage Japan untikl afte rthey attacked Pearl Harbor. Maybe you and Johnny need to look up the word "started" in the dictionary, I'm just at a loss. If someone shoots at you, and then you shoot back, how do you say that you "started" the shooting?

Your welcome for the service, as always, I appreciate the very pro-vet stance of all here.
