<strong>My son joined the Army after 9/11 and I very much support him.http://www.merseyworld.com/imagine/lyrics/imagine.htm</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Be sure to let your son know there are a lot of folks in the States that are proud of him and the other men and women serving today. I signed up for the Marines in Aug. '90 and after I graduated High school I was on Parris Island in June of '91. I did not see Iraq that time. I got out in '95, I really have been tossing the idea around that I would like to be more involved doing something.
I see these posts and comments on the TV about why Iraq? What about so and so country? Have we so quickly forgotten the days after 9/11. President Bush was more then clear. There will be a world wide effort to clean up ALL terrorists and ALL nations that house, train, supply and other wise support Terrorist. I say heck yes. Do we really want to live with cancerous Tumors and hope they don't kill us? Or do we want to remove them and suffer for a short time to live better in the long run? Just like tumors the best treatment is most often to go as aggressive as possible as soon as possible.
God speed to our brave men and women in uniform. Let's hope we will always have folks so willing to give so much. So that so many gutless sob's can exploit their right to speak out against them. I don't understand how it is that to so many, America is so bad, but they sure don't mind living it up here do they?
