Proud of you, And keep up the good work.
Now bomb that area till the sand turns in to glass and then come on home. The only way to get them crazies to stop fighting is to kill them all.
Kinda harsh but I know of no other way.

Which war ? Last time I looked, we had 2 wars on the go.
Of course, the "other war" was only started to try to capture the man responsible for 9/11 - not very important, right ? Wheras, the Iraq war was started as a smokescreen. So that people wouldn't notice how truly screwed up things were in Afghanistan & how we totally failed to achieve the objectives.
NOTE : I don't count "brining democracy to Afghanistan to be an objective" - the USA does NOT rule the world & we are NOT responsible for the stopping injustice (although we are responsible for causing much of it).

Americans have never supported any war at any time. During World War Two 75% of our soldiers were drafted, during Vietnam 30% in Vietnam were drafted and during this war when we don't even have a draft everyone is whining about this war.
So it doesn't really matter what others think ,only what you think. Others will just pay lip service at best anyway, all you have is each other. That's the way it has
always been, hang tough.

Honestly, I'm disgusted by the whole thing. Just look at the general consensus, about 70% of the country is fed up. It's been a false war from the start, only started so Dick Cheney's Haliburton can go in and clean up the mess. I think it's old news....but God Bless you and good luck.

We Americans seems to have become a self gratification society. If we want someting, we want it now. Hell, look at all the get rich quick schemes out there. Somebody must be buying that crap. We don't have the patience to fight a long war, and it is beginning to show. I still support our troops no matter what. By the way, Bless you and your family for the sacrifices you have made for this country.

i believe we are fighting a very serious enemy, (radical Islam) who if left unchecked or appeased would continue to fester like an infected wound until beyond repair. The difficulty is that the enemy intentionally blends in with civilians and takes only cheap shots, we, being the good guys, do not kill all Muslims to eliminate the random, (or not so random) bad apples and are left with the frustration of a seemingly endless battle against a people who are largely living in a world 500+ years behind us. But I am 100% behind this ugly and difficult cause. Your job is a difficult one and I thank you for your efforts.

We're tired to but appreciate what you're doing. I wish you were given the resources you need in order to get this thing done. Tired of having you out there with one hand tied behind your back.

I'm tired of all the wars going on right now. It's very sad. I get sad and angry when I hear our troops dying or getting kidnapped. I wish it would stop already.

Sorry, mate. Must be terrible having to fight if you have lost the motivation and will. Good luck!
