very humbling.

with those that are demanding an immediate pull out, many of my friends that are over there say to either let them come home, or let them do their job instead of trying to make them be "politically correct" when their in combat. damn politicians, of all things war cannot be politically correct.

Rudy Juliani gained a fair amount of respect when talking about iraq on letterman.  When dave asked him about pulling out of iraq, moreover about setting a timeline, he replied that we should never give the enemy a date, that we should be there as long as we need to complete the mission.  He also stated that the reason we were there was because of 9-11, and to my surprise the audience cheered!  Very surprising considering the generally liberal crowd both in new york and the letterman audience. 

I never thought much about people who served until all of this hubub started but have gained so much respect for those who give so selflessly to keep us free.  Whether or not you agree with the movement you should always hold high those who protect our rights and freedom  :usa:

There's nothing I can say to adequately express my respect and admiration for the military personnel. Volunteers, every one, they put their lives on hold in the prime of life to answer a higher calling...to serve their fellow man. I don't believe for an instant that you can support the soldiers, seamen, airmen and marines and not support the reason they are there. Regardless of how you think the war has been managed or mismanaged...these people are the little boy or girl down the street.
