you know its often you want to or atleast I want to ask what the hell are we doing over there anyway, I mean as far as I understand my history the people in the middle east have been fighting each other for 1000's of years and what do we think of the difference the lives of our young men and women are going to make. From what I see they are not always the most greatful of people for the help we have given them. Another question is why cant they pay for the war? I guess I am just frusturated that my son and others like him are stuck so far away from home to help a people that just dont really seem to care.
