Right there with you. I too am a Vet, although I was in during the Cold War days of Regan. But I see what people are saying now about the war and frankly, if you don't agree, fine. But shut up, you know? The men and women over there need and deserve our full-fledged support. Period. Apparently some people learned nothing from how we treated the troops in 'Nam.

You get a crisp salute and my respect.
