Bravo!! So you are a good soldier, patriotic, dedicated and doing what you are told to do and doing it with great courage and valor. You are to be applauded, revered and saluted by all Americans who have even the slightest understanding of what this country is all about.
You, being the good military man that you are (and there is no sarcasm intended or implied), are following orders which you should not, MUST not question or hesitate in carrying out, as all of our forces are unquestionably doing.
You have absolutely no control over what your orders are and must never question their validity to the extent that it might impair your ability to carry them out to the best of your ability.
The fact that your commander in chief is seen as a bufoon by a majority of the citizens that you are fighting for should never, ever reflect on you who are doing what you are trained to do, regardless of the fact that it is seen by many that that commander in chief is egregiously using our military as a goon squad.
I'm a Viet Nam vet, did what I was told to do when I was active duty, then rejoined civilian life and protested with all my heart and soul the atrocities of the Viet Nam War.
Iraq IS our current Viet Nam debacle. Take heart and do as you are ordered - things will change when the bufoon who is your comander in chief is replaced and your orders to perform duties which incite cries of "goon squad" will be changed.
You are NOT a goon squad! You are only being used as one and that is the biggest tragedy of this war.
You are ALL heroes in a terribly gone wrong endeavour.
