Why is it that whenever I watch anything relating to current events, I feel outnumbered in this- and yet here, we seem to have a near majority? The media, politicians, and so on, portray ourselves as vulgar, fighting a hopless battle, and in it recklessly.
Why are our elected officials trying to bring home our troops, clearly dismissing the fact that it could be damaging to simply pull-out? I feel bad for the lives we've lost, and their families. But it's better that it is them rather than our civilians in Atlanta, LA, or New York.
Sometimes I feel like we're in a nation of dogs. Whenever the media, or a politician has a bone or a red bouncy ball to wave, everyone in unison looks this way or that. And the man with the ball smiles because he's gotten our attention.

I might look at the ball if it is interesting and I might study it for some time, but I will then look at the moron grinning at me expecting me to do his bidding and lift my leg and clean myself.
So next time someone ask you this question a VETS perferred answer is "I don't support the reason for action, yet I do support my country, those fighting for it and the actions which we are already committed."
