This reminds me of all of the bumperstickers that say 'We support our troops!'. Let's be serious. There are bad people in every group. I suggest that you talk with some of the people there. Talk with a soldier on AIM or something. It's free. Get the real story.
There are plenty of bad soldiers that abuse prisoners and shoot innocent civilians in Iraq that will come back home to a hero's welcome. There is a terrible group think there. Soldiers still refer to Iraqi people as 'sand niggers', 'camel jockeys', and other racist names. We are not the holy force we are made out to be, and it makes me sick.
I come from an army family. My grandfathers both fought four our country in WWII. There is a proud tradition of protecting our freedom. It's a shame we stopped protecting our freedoms. I hope I can live up to the family tradition and help to steer America in the right direction again.
