Didn't think you'd come home to shooting' war, did ya? The folks I know who were in an overseas shooting was (WWII, Korea, 'Nam) never said much, and we do owe them a lot although I tend to side with Mr. Lincoln in that we need to honor them by ensuring that the Grand Experiment does not fail.

Similarly, I worked with a whole lot of people who got shot at and otherwise harassed around here. At that time, it seemed that both sides were shooting at us.
