I concur wholeheartedly, Joe. There is a page where you can scroll down all the names and pictures of the lost young men and women from our current military adventure. As I scrolled through just the ones from my own state of California, I kept think about what they had to stand up to before they dies, broken and unfulfilled, most of them under 25 years old. It breaks my heart to look in their lost faces.

The grunts with the guns and the men in the trucks are doing more than should be asked of them, and they are doing it bravely in spite of the terror that must live permanently in their guts. I don't know how they stand it. Honor them? You bet.

And get them out of there as fast as possible, I think, as well.
