Just watched the news, 3 busses pulled out of PA today heading to Fort Dix for pretraining for going to Iraq/Afghanistan. Unfortunely, these vets are on the 2 & 3 tour. Young women/men/children watching their loved ones leave, never knowing if they will see them again.....
My husband did 2 tours in NAM , we didn't know each other then. I had a brother there at the same time. I was too young at the time to truly understand the intensity and challanges of the families left behind. I cry today when I see this. :( PC
Too much sacrifice and death just to prop up a senile, corrupt and almost useless government. Oh and Afghanistan's government is no top prize either.
