It isn't over...not until the mission in Afghanistan has been completed...besides it's probably a good bet that those units that were in Iraq...like the 101st will be sent on a tour of Afghanistan...like the 101st!!!


And you're right a lot of speeches and little action...drop kicked to the curb...tossed under a bus...forgotten! It's our lot in life...after the guns go quiet, and the dead are buried...the signs come out "Dogs and Veterans, Keep off the grass"...with dogs getting a better deal and vets being told by those who will never understand..."you're on your own".

I've felt that way since Desert Storm...and they threw us a parade...lot of good it did!!!
