With all the anti-war protesting going on in Crawford, TX with Cindy Sheehan and crowd, I think it's very interesting to note that despite these kinds of efforts, enlistments are up in the military. This is particularly worthy of note in an all-volunteer 'army' and during a time of war. If this doesn't point out that there is a clear distinction between the anti-war mentality and that of our courageous men and women who choose to lay their lives on the line for their country (us) and the cause of freedom, what else will?
My show today with the late Steven Vincent, author of In The Red Zone, also clearly points out the gratitude the Iraqi people have for what our American soldiers. Steven lost his life tragically in Iraq at the hands of two Iraqi thugs, earlier this month. This was his 3rd trip to Iraq. Why would he as well as our soldiers chooose to go back to Iraq? Courage. Purpose. Love.
