beardy,
Thank you for sharing your differing point of view that presents the other side of this very stressful time.
As the mother of teenage sons(17 yr old twins), the guys each have decided they want to enlist
in the military branch of their choice and
defend their country. Hopefully this conflict will not last that long nor take that many casualities.My husband was honored with a Bronze Star
during his tour of duty in Viet Nam.My aunt was one of the first nurses to join the Army Nurse Corp in the late 1940s to do two tours of duty in Korea. She was also one of the few women then to be honored with a Purple Heart for what she used to say,'just doing my job as a loyal American'.
I guess this board really is about freedom of speech. But with that freedom of speech comes certain responsibilities to maintain civility and 'respectfully disagree' on issues from time to time.
thanks again. Take care, beardy,
syringachalet
