Memorial Day in US - a moment of thought for the foot soldiers in harms way

(1/1)

mouser:
it's memorial day in the united states today (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day)

this is not a political board an i do not want us to get into political arguments here; plenty of good sites for that.

regardless of politics, i hope we can all lend a moment of thought to the foot soldiers from all countries who may now as we speak be in a far off land, scared and in danger, doing only what they think is right.

vegas:
well no matter how you look at it, 99% of the soldiers haven't done anything wrong. so praise & prayer to them. now as to the decisions that were made to put them there and keep them there...no comment.

Scott:
Whether or not they even think it's right, they're just doing their jobs, and have essentially no say in it.  I have a bunch of family in Iraq, or probably-soon-to-go, and it's been a tense time.  No prayers from me, but thoughts, definitely.

zridling:
To quote Attaturk: "Peace be with those who die in our name, and also to those who want them not to be sacrificed in vain."
