Dallas,
I posted the link to that video. It is a tribute to the Troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. It honours their service and sacrifice.
I made it quite clear in my initial post that it was "American" but was symbolic of all of the Coalition forces engaged in this fight against terrorism.
After viewing the video I felt it was very worthwhile to ensure folks here had a chance to see a tribute to their service.
Perhaps if the drive-by media would show the good things our friends are doing there....and accept the fact they are real people and not merely something to make mock of....we might then get a much better idea of what is really going on there.
All the media want to see is the score board of deaths....and celebrate every time a "thousand" increment is surpassed.
Would it not be refreshing if they did in-depth reporting of the sacrifices our friends and their families are making out of devotion to their duty and country instead of a 30 second clip of some poor widow being given a folded flag with a voice over regaling the body count.
If you can look at the video and not get some tears in your eyes....ye know naught about war.
