I see a lot of soldiers in the office now: many with three to five deployments in the past few years. The majority of these individuals seem to have chosen their best option job wise to proceed with their lives in America. The military offers many benefits and most take advantage of them. But deployment to active war zones puts extraordinary stress on their families and on their personalities, not to mention the physical wounds. It is a risky bet to try to come out winners in the crap shoot of American life.

I thank them all, primarily because I remember vividly how we looked upon and treated Vietnam Vets. But we can not afford the cost of the collateral damage of war on our citizenry. Bring them home now. Obama has abdicated his position as a peace seeker. He needs to manup and deliver what he promised. Good bless our soldiers and bring them home safely, NOW!
