So tomorrow marks the 4th annaversiary of the Iq invasion, and 5+ of Afghanistan. We are still over there. We are still suffering losses to keep these 2 nations afloat. It seems like we've lost all support. yet if we did nothing, that would have truly been unacceptable. I dunno. I still feel like I'm part of the solution; that hasnt been stripped from me yet. I see on the news, these soldiers being killed by the dozens by one, two carbombs daily. Seeing families being torn apart by an unforgiving opstempo. How long can this go on? How much more can we, as a nation, stomach? Ask the Afghan woman, who, until we arrived, had to keep her whole body covered or face a beating, or worse, by those cowards.
Then theres Iraq. the Admin has lost its credibility, and its up to the guys over there to make things right. They've done great work, and I'm proud of them. I just wish that there were easy answers and obvious solutions. Our military was never set up for nation building, and the opposition knows how to exploit us. It would just be alot easier if we were reading about this in a history book, 20 years later, than living and experiencing it right now. We'll see what happens next.
