Just A Thought

If there's one thing I've noticed since I returned from Baghdad, it's the lack of discussion and care concerning our troops and mission in Iraq (or Afghanistan for that matter). Maybe this should have been obvious to me, but no civilians stateside openly discuss the progress, problems, or details of the ongoing war. Everyone has their opinions - many of them pessimistic - but it's as if there are not brave men and women in harms way fighting. Perhaps I expected too much. It is very obvious, however, that America (as mentioned in the previous post) is not at war. Our Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Sailors are at war, and the American public knows little about our experiences.

Just a thought.
