As many as 1,600 insurgents in Fallujah were killed....

Add to these numbers the last 100 fighters that will be eliminated on nearly a field training basis.

Problem is, I think that people like that are so delusional and out of touch with the real world that the education would be lost on him.

I've been thinking that it takes a certain kind of person of exemplary moral character to understand really what they are fighting for.

I mean, look where our troops are. It's not like they are fighting the terrorists in their front yards to protect their family in the house. That's an immediate threat to their personal well being and their families. Our MEN and WOMEN are fighting half way around the world, without a loved one in sight (except for their photos) and they are fighting for not only the protection of our country but also the ideals that our country stands for.

Additionally, they are fighting for the protection and freedom to self govern for a country seriously divided. Our men fight for those that can not fight themselves, for whatever reason. They fight for those who have lived under the yoke of tyranny for so long that the concepts of freedom and liberty are as foreign to them as their tyranny is to us.

What awesome individuals that have sprung from our land, to travel to distant countries, not to subjugate but to liberate. Women birth children.America births nations.

I am amazed, on a daily basis, at the character of our military.

I blame ethical relativism for the loss of common sense and decency that seems to be displayed in our citizenry. There are such things as good and evil, peril and safety, killers and heros. I'll count among my frineds, those who can recognize these differences. And avoid the ones who can't.
