He just gives them away to anyone. I wonder why some people manage to move on, have a family, have friends... and some can't. It is awful, and now two of my sons are going to attend a top-notch school with close military ties.

I share many of your feelings, but ...Good post Lou. I share many of your feelings, but sometimes a nation isn't given much of a choice. I agree Vietnam was bad policy from the start. And, invading Iraq wasn't necessary either. But Desert Storm, to move Iraq out of Kuwait and Afghanistan after 9/11 were actions that needed to be taken. What I deplore is all the talk that the government takes carry of its service people and then see the poor condition of the hospitals and the waiting GIs have to endure to get treatment and help. If we really cared about our service people they wouldn't have to continue to suffer after they endured some much for their country.moneythoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462893426608294171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-69576007660720852692010-05-29T23:07:37.057-05:002010-05-29T23:07:37.057-05:00No words need to be added to your statement.

I had nightmares for years and I remember as I was preparing to leave my family to go to Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Storm, over 20 years later, I said to my wife that my worst nightmares were coming true. I was being sent off, away from my family, to fight another war. After I retired from the Army people were often surprised by my negative reaction to us going to war in Iraq. No one hates war like a soldier, except maybe his family. Great post for Memorial Day weekend or any time.Scott Lawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10987812136291082288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-51362228567115651932010-05-28T14:30:23.566-05:002010-05-28T14:30:23.566-05:00Your post brought back painful memories of our bro...Your post brought back painful memories of our brothers and friends damaged by that war. My heart goes out to you and I'm glad you don't have the awful nightmares anymore. I'm with you in saying "NO" to war and the death of our children and grandchildren as the way to settle our differences. Surely we can be more creative than that.Grandmother Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169464484379536529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969775012135767870.post-45833603525576279422010-05-28T11:57:21.909-05:002010-05-28T11:57:21.909-05:00Happy Memorial Day sir.
