When I disagree with why we are sending these young people overseas, I am not besmirching them personally. They are doing the job they signed up to do. Many of them have no other choice for a career and further education (but that's a whole 'nother thread). I support our men and women in uniform, I do not support the reason they are over there.

In addition to family, I have many, many friends and family of choice who have proudly served this country in all branches of the service. I am saying "Me" but I think that a lot of us who loathe these wars and the real reasons for them feel similarly.

No one loathes war more than those who serve and who have served. I was not being specific with whom my post was for, I didn't think it was required.
