I sure havent forgotten either. I do seem to be in the minority now days though. I know exactly why we are in both places and doing what needs to be done. I dont like seeing our boys go down anymore than anyone, but thats part of war.
It makes me sick to think about the planes hitting those towers. The other attacks do as well, but that was, for lack of a better term, the pinnacle. Then, there were people marching the streets, shaking fists in the air wanting every terrorist in the world killed. Couldnt wait to get our troops over to the middle east to kick some tail. Now its sickening how alot of those same people are crawfishing and cursing our president for getting us into this war. Guess it wasnt a sanitary, tv war that fit their tastes just right. These terrorists have to be rooted out like the rats they are and killed. And tragic as it is, we are going to lose a few lives in the process. Compare the time we have been at war with any other war we have been in before and compare the American casualty numbers. Ones too many, but its very low and we are fighting one of the hardest fights ever.
And, before anyone steps up, I dont care what reason was used, Iraq had nothing to do with oil. There are many reasons for going in there as well as after bin Laden. It was, and still is, the right thing to do. Lets see, genocide, torture, oil for food, chemical weapons (yes they were there, too many signs of it), harboring terrorists, funding terrorists, the list goes on. He had to come down. And he did.
I havent forgotten either Val and Hawkeye.....
