Veterans Day 2010

I thought I was too busy
To, take the time to care
But, I went to the VFW
And saw, all of them there.

All those who Served their time
Who, all did their special bit
Some of them, came back, unscathed
But, some of them took, a "hit"!

Let's not forget those Families
Who made, all that Sacrifice
Who spent their time, and loved ones
In all those wars.  No thanks, suffice!

War. The devastation it causes, both on the battlefield and on the home front is so awful it would look like we would figure out it is not worth it. Still, there are always those who seem to think they can do whatever they want to do on the world stage without consequence. They have to be dealt with on their own level. On their own level. That is what I have against the way we are fighting the war in Afghanistan. Our troops are bound by "rules" the Taliban is not. In war there should be one "rule." Win it.
