As you sit in the comfort of your home, freshly showered, listening to your favorite CD, or with the TV going, in front of your computer with your steaming cup of coffee and the softness of your clean socked feet propped up in front of you, perhaps with your kids laughing in the background.....
Take a minute to remember that whether you agree with the governmental decision or not, there are military personell sitting in a sandstorm waiting to confront death. Might you take a moment to remember that it takes more strength of character than eveyrone here combined to be there.
They have families left behind. They have unborn children left behind. They have to put their fear behind them as well. They might not agree or even understand, but they are there because they love their homes, and they trust that they are doing the right thing at this time. Time will tell one way or another, but these men and women had to make a choice, and they did it. Don't judge them from your comfy chair.
