It never occurred to me before how much I really thought about the wars going on in this world. Of course I had my opinions. I have my opinions on just about everything, most of the time really strong ones.
This is different or at least different now. Sure I read about the soldiers dying, and I read about all the bombings and outbreaks of rebels and I really didn't care. Well I guess that's wrong, I did care, it just didn't affect me as much as it does now.
Now....now I have a brother in the armed forces and everytime I read about this crap or see it on the news it is so much more real and scary. It's not about someone else, it's about our family. If every politcal leader had a child in the armed forces I can almost guarentee you that things would not escalate as far as they do or last as long as they do.
And I don't mean a child in the armed forces that's stationed in Hawaii!
Saying that...I now support our troops....I support my brother....but I also support the responsibility of our government to get our troops out of places dangerous in short order.
