Christos got a couple things stuck in my craw I gotta get out. When I talked about being big boys and girls I was referring to being able to do the job we are trained for. If that means we have to adapt our equipment and tactics, well that's just good ole USA know how. The military's been good at overcoming material and manpower shortages for awhile now ie; Valley Forge,Battle of the Bulge. You're young so you're used to phones everywhere. It was'nt so long ago that we used to write letters on paper and mail them then wait days or weeks for a reply. Yes phones are great and those who are away from their loved ones appreciate them greatly, but they are not a prerequisite to do the job. We also have family support groups that are initiated by local military units in conjunction with spouses and family so we are'nt out in the cold when we go. My unit will probably go somewhere at the end of '06, (the 2nd or 3rd time for some guys) and if I go financially I will make a killing(no pun intended) But then I'm not doing it for the money.
War will never be safe cozy or convienient for those who have to do the fighting and dying. If you watch the national news you'll notice almost every single soldier,sailor,marine or airman that dies gets some publicity. With previous wars the KIA rate was too high to give that much attention to individuals. That should show that while loss of life is tragic, we have done much to keep our people safe as we can. It's just time to finish our job and do it right. Over and Out.
