I may not agree with the reasons our president sends our soldiers to war, but I damn well support each and every single one of them out there. I'm sure they are ecstatic to be away from their families, to be away from the comforts of life here. I'm sure it is a lovely picnic in the sun and sand! (sarcasm off)

They have to experience things that will stay with them the rest of their lives. They come home to people like the poster calling them scum, and have to live with people in their own country treating them like they ARE scum. Many in poverty or wounded and can't get jobs or psychological help! Many end up on the streets, mentally and physically wounded for the rest of their lives, and to have the audacity to call them scum....it's disgusting.

To those who have come before, those serving now, and those to come after, thank you for putting your lives on the line, whether you want to be where you are sent or not. You have my most sincere gratitude.
