I've always wondered what the average GI over there is htinking. As a veteran i think i have an idea, but honestly, i know better then think that. . Like ive told a few people about my own experiences, "you weren't there, how would you know?! how could you possibly understand?!". LIkewise, while im a vet with his own experiences - i wasnt in this particualr slice of hell, how would i know? So ive always been curious as to what the boots on the ground are thinking.
As for pulling out, im all for it, and im against it. Pulling out would mean that comrades have died for nothing. Staying put isnt exactly rosy either. What do you do? Personnaly when faced with a similar experience, i just stopped thinking about it and lived one day at a time. Not much else you can do really. When i got out of the service, i did find myself as a newfound Isolationism fan, with a through disgust of overpatriotic flagwavers wraping themselves in the flag, and watching CNN like its a football game.
