A tunnel of despair for everyone that this war has touched. A badge of shame for the Americans who sat on their hands when hundreds of thousands of Americans supported the troops by protesting a manufactured mission. Standing up and speaking out for clarification of a true mission worthy of our soldiers. I can’t even put the sadness and anger into words here especially when I know that the attackers will be out twisting the meaning of my words as happened to me here this week on this very issue. So pitiful! Thank you for posting this even though it wrecks me.
