For those who serve - the reminder of how horrible conflict or battle can be is not very far away. For those who have lost friends, you never forget. For those who have faced death and survived - you are never the same again.

No - those who serve - and even moreso those who have faced battle - understand the horror more than those who sit at home protesting and whining. Force is never a good option - but there comes a time when it truly is the only option. That happens when the cost of doing nothing is higher than the cost of doing something. That is the situation that Bibi finds his country in - and he is brave enough to face that.

Good post
