Popcornbird, you are absolutely right. There hasn't been a war on American soil for the longest time, so we forget what it would be like living in Iraq and hearing gunshots outside our windows. We got scared becase they flew airplanes into 3 buildings (far from most of our homes), imagine having your homes ransacked and destroyed and being left with a pile of rubble. Or the poor children without parents tryng to survive. To hell with feeling sorry for our troops, they never lived though anything that bad.
