I really hated the whole bums rush to go to war after the tower attacks.
Too many good men died or were injured. My younger son did a tour of
duty in Iraq. My older son had a complete meltdown over it. He didn't want
him to die in that "shithole". We all breathed a sigh of relief when he came home.
I firmly believe in holding government accountable. If war can be avoided, it
should be. Old guys in suits aren't the ones out there fighting. When it was me
wearing the uniform, it was different than when your kids are the ones on the
line. I guess I now know how my dad felt when I enlisted.
Let's hope cooler heads prevail.
