The reason I get upset when
anybody, anytime speaks out against, or merely fails to support our military (and our vets) is really quite simple. I know people active and retired in the service from E-1's to Col.'s.
I've seen first hand the effect it has one these guys coming home and trying to blend back in with the rest of us. I've been privaleged enough to hear their stories, stories they keep from their own wives and daughters because of the horrors of what they've seen and had to do.
Forgive me for being a little defensive. That happens when you have a family member who's a Vietnam Vet. It's dang near impossible to get information out of him, and I'm floored any and everytime I do.
