My intent in posting this was to point out the pain and suffering war brings, and to add a little perspective. My fear is not of a War Hero losing it and going on a killing spree at home. My fears have to do with the ramifications these people will feel after all this killing is finished in Iraq.
Support for this war is diminishing quickly at home, and I can remember the results of this after (and during) the war in Viet Nam. I was simply attempting to remind us all that we have a commitment to deal with the effects our policy will have on those who are charged to carry out our killing, and it is not going to be pretty.
This has been your weekly reality check.
