I agree with you both. I am proud of what we have accomplished in our time as a country, and hope that we in our life of plenty do not become to complacent.
I remember why we went to Afghanistan to begin with, and have had at some times issues with Iraq, but for us to pull out to soon will cause I feel, grave problems for us.
Seems as though the third world countries understand one thing, and that is either death or life. I have spent quite alot of time on the other sides of our boundries, and it is nothing that John Q public can understand at times.
I am glad for the men, and women that wake up the morning of their deployment, and actually leave their families, and homes, and step onto those transports for their country! Wow, what a sacrifice!!!!
I hope you both have a great day, and thanks for your imput..
