Thank you to all who are in service to the country. It is you who make it easier for me to go to bed with my wife at night, knowing that you are working hard and putting your lives on the line so we can wake up the next morning. I don't like war, I don't like violence, but there is only one way to make it so my wife and I can board a plane to go home ever again, without the fear of terrorists using our plane as a billboard for their beliefs. You deserve a lot more respect than you are getting. I can't understand how anyone who has a family who looks to them for protection and security can see a serviceman (or woman) and not tear up knowing that it is they who are keeping them safe. We are counting on you, and we want you to come home so you too can enjoy your families in safety. This is not a time the US is using to flex it's muscle. It's not a time to show everyone how bad we are. We are responding to a clear threat against our families on our own soil. We are going to make damn sure we are doing what we can so that no one is hurt by these cowardly acts ever again. This is not a typical war, where there is differences between governments and lives are put on the line because of money, oil, whatever. This is about security, and about rooting out people who choose to make war against our innocent children.
