I don't support the war in Iraq. I do support the war in Afghanistan, which is what I'm basing my reply on.
It's hard for anyone who didn't go through that sort of rationing to understand all the implications. We are a rich society, and anyone on this forum counts in that because they obviously have access to the internet, which is not included in a list of essentials for survival. I'm spoiled; I admit it. I would find it difficult to put back things at the store, to use less gas, and worry about a garden (I just don't like it). However, if the boys in Afghanistan TRULY needed it in order for them to do their jobs and get home safely, I would give things up. Grudgingly I'm sure, but I could do it. I think a dose of this kind of reality would be good for American society in general.
