Please don't take this personally but that's the problem right now.Everybody "thinks" they know what our boys are going through and yet only those who've lived it actually know.No amount of magazine articles will EVER come close to the experience and fear that each soldier in that war feels or experiences.

My point BF is that after reading that article is you still don't know what our boys are going through.You have a well informed and possibly biased CLUE(depending on article/magazine) on what they're going through,but you just don't know.

In the end if you really want to know then you must go.

And to those who will jump on my response to BF please read it carefully first.There's no judgementalism going on here.I'm not saying I'm for or against,I'm just presenting a point of view that many don't consider which is that of the actual combatants.
