One of ours is double-amputee from Fallujah. They almost got him, but he is a tough kid. Marines. Yes, how do you absorb the fact that people, supposedly leaders and patriots, were working against our boys? It is too much to take in.
To you and Veronica, i cannot imagine how you guys must feel. I was a Marine over there in Desert Storm,, and couldn’t believe how good this generation performed there. We were the last of the old cold war style.
This new bunch of Marines continually amaze me. In all candor, they possess a level of skill and professionalism we never dared dream of.
But i am just as dismayed when i see how US politicians and Military brass have utterly betrayed them.
The kids that fought there will truly be appreciated more and more by history, as the years pass. Decades from now, they will be a hallowed part of American history, loyal during an era of treason.
