It is "1SG". I seriously question whether the writer ever was in the Army.

I truly think the two Democratic candidates finally get it, that there can be a nearterm solution at hand and that it deserves the support. Both have toned down their talk about an immediate withdrawl. Perhaps now, we can have some more responsible reporting from CNN and Fox. David Well spoken, CJ.

Americans understand the cost of prematurely withdrawing troops. You should get on board. CF, what you fail to realize (or accept) is that only 14% of Americans want immediate withdrawal.

By his own choice, he volunteered to join the Marines and then the Army Reserves. Some of the mistakes we made was showing the world that if they commit an act of terrorism that we will back down, Beirut and Somalia to name a few. Sure, there might have been times that we lobbed a few missiles/bombs their way, but when we stop our missions because, "we lose a couple hundred soldiers in a single pop" it showed a pattern of weakness. I detest to think that it will happen again, and for people like you who would rather just wait for my father, brother, uncle and quite a few close friends (yes all over in Iraq right now) to be blown up in one pop, I will do my duty, state side or overseas to try and prevent it from happening. CJ, Thanks for remaining a role model for soldiers in a true since, by always being true to yourself! CF,

If you consider his platform on Iraq, the poll numbers should reflect your position. Why would anyone pledge a vote for McCain? Who is ever really upbeat to know family and friends are serving in a war? CF,

It's too bad, however, that we will have to wait for a Beirut-style bombing, where we lose a couple hundred soldiers in a single pop, before we have the guts to put an end to this costly boondoggle.
