2. Thanks for posting this.

It should be required reading when you purchase a "Support Our Troops" ribbon for your car.

IMHO, this essay sums up the dirty secret behind b*sh's "war". Most of those kids are in the service because they are trying to provide for their education or because they really don't have a better option. Sure there are some who are into the Flag waving rhetoric, but I bet that loses it's luster the first time they see one of their buddies limbs blown off.

As a vet myself, I have never understood how b*sh pulled this con off on other vets and our active duty soldiers.
