As always a fabulously insightful and evocative article. Billy I too took "pen" to hand and sat and emailed the clueless Mr. Reid. I was so utterly appalled at his comments. Hey CJ!!

So much so, I emailed. I have been relative quiet until now. But, I have decided the "pen is mightier than the sword." So I am sharpening mine.

I think there are Americans along with myself that can relate to this story. I feel the same way about those in the peace movement and with what they do and say, I could almost hardly call them peaceful. I just hope people who disagree with the anti-war crowd could actually have a say someday. Today, some people brought up OIF in one of my classes and the kids that were anti-war just shouted down whomever tried to stand up against them, including a student who is about to deploy sometime soon, but they got stumped when someone (another soldier) quick questioned them with a question they couldn't answer (I think the professor tried to levy things in favor of the anti-war crowd, but he was stumped too)! Anyway, glad to read what you have to say anyday, CJ! That was pretty good, CJ! I think there are Americans along with myself that can relate to this story.

Things do not change - but then again because of the Civil War - things did change. I shudder to think if had we didn't have that period in our history, I wonder where we would be. CJ,

It never thought of present day events in that light as compared to the Civil War period! It's strange how people even in different generations don't change. It's the same old crap being floated around by the liberal bunch! CJ,

Great comparison and one the anti-war folks should think about long and hard. This is exactly the reason why all of us who write on milblogs continue to get out the POSITIVE things that are happening in Iraq. Lord knows the media sure isn't going to do it.

I am glad that you posted it here. Isn't it funny how history repeats itself, good or bad. To bad that sometimes we don't learn from it, or we forget that in which we learn because of time and distance. CJ,
