Nobody...especially professional/career military want war. Those, in particular, who have seen the horror and destruction it brings...could ever believe its a good or glorious thing. But...sometimes it is necessary. People who would undermine the foundations of a peaceful and non-oppressing civilation to impose their beliefs and ideaology on a non-receptive society do not always take a simple " no thank you" for an final answer. When that does not happen...and they do not get or understand the State Department's platitudes...then someone has got to lay down his plow, his screwdriver or his pencil and go kill them.
Thank you veterans (both combat and non-combat) for the courage and sacrifices you have shown and made for a very ungrateful citizenery who fail to realize that the privilages they enjoy and take for granted were bought and paid for with your blood, sweat and tears.
Saw a bumper sticker couple of weeks ago: "GIVE WAR A CHANCE, PEACE AND LOVE HAVE FAILED TO GET THE JOB DONE"
