Even though we have a different view of it, I do hear you. Here's the thing. Just one guy's observation. I think we as a country have fallen into this sense of failure that we feel obligated to own. I think it stems from the Vietnam era. We don't think we have a right to be "in it to win it" because we were run out of southeast Asia thirty years ago. Different ball game today. It's always about playing offense in war. No attacks on the country since September 11th of 2001. That's because of good offense over seas. If we leave before we win or before putting our allies in a position to win then our enemies follow us home. I don't want that, so I say let's keep our dukes up and continue throwing haymakers until they get tired, not until we get tired. This is one of those points in history where bodies and blood are the only solution. I hear you. Even though we have a different view of it, I do hear you. Here’s the thing.

I can't speak to Sheehan because I really haven't kept up with her. While I am a peaceful person, I totally agree that war can be necessary and it's not pretty. The reason for this war is what makes me angry. Too many people have died and for what? Interesting take, Marty. I can’t speak to Sheehan because I really haven’t kept up with her.
