His bravery deserves national media recognition.
What I don't get is how questioning WHY our troops lives are being sacrificed and risked is perceived as non-support of our military? I think it shows the highest form of support. It shows we value their commitment and personal sacrifice to safeguard this country and that we have no desire to put them in danger for no good reason.
Afghanistan, I support that 100%. They harbored Bin Laden and provided him a safe haven from which to launch an attack on us.
If you buy into Iraq then we should also be in N.Korea, Turkey and India. They are all threats to world peace. Why aren't we there?
But since no WMD's have been found and our agenda is now being portrayed as "spreading democracy" and "liberating an oppressed people" I can think of a dozen countries in Africa where we should be sending our troops. Why aren't we there?
I know what military life is about. I grew up in the service. I come from a military family who have served in every conflict from the Civil War to Vietnam.
My father did Korea and volunteered for Vietnam. He would not let me join when I was of age because of his experience in Vietnam. He came to believe that the although the military was still an honorable profession the government was no longer run by men with honor. He did not feel that my life should be entrusted to men that would risk it for the wrong reason.
I guess he was right on that one.
