I think George from East Bridgewater, MA is a self loathing weak minded democrat. The fact is there are few, 1 in 250 Americans, willing to fight for their country and protect their way of life. For whatever reason the president at the time decides necessary, most of these brave soldiers come from impoverished or lower middle class backgrounds, the fact that they are willing to risk their lives to fight for this country is the most honorable and noble thing one can do. You must have not served or you were kicked out of the military to write such a negative comment. It takes a strong individual to stand up to unknown foes, leave their family for years at a time for what they believe in. Perhaps you would be happy if we rolled over like the French did in WWII.
