If you've never served in the military than you can't criticize those who have.

88. No offense but that is a dumb comment to make. If I remember right Bush/Cheney were lying

to the american people at the time. Americans fell for it and we ended up going into a war we never should have. Now I didn't buy it. Because my husband was in the military and I wanted to know more and we weren't really getting it. The truth is always first to be lost and no one usually wants to hear it. It in many ways was like VN. So many of our young men and women died and came back wounded and had to deal with those terrible issues. Enlisted people do their jobs. If they don't and they are on the first lines people die. It is easy to judge when you aren't having fire fights around you. Many times you don't know who is shooting at you and you have to do your best to make the right decision. I am sure they pray like hell they don't do it wrong. But unfortunately it happens. Sitting in our homes is easy. Lets see people make those decisions on a battle field.

I try very hard not to judge a soldier. I thank them for their service. My husband spent 21 yrs in the Army and he was a good soldier. My father-in-law retired from the Army with 24 yrs and he was a good soldier. In fact he was wounded in VN. He also served in WWII and Korea. Never did anything he wasn't suppose to. My father was in WWII in the Army Air Corp then when the Air Force took over he moved into the Air Force. He also was in Korea and was in VN before it built up. He retired with 22 yrs. So I can honestly say I was very proud of my military family. I also worked for the military at various bases. So there are good and bad soldiers.
