re: The issue, Frank, is that we have already failed . . .
Just ask our own resident naysayers.
The facts remain that our soldiers joined up for one very basic reason, and that was to make a difference in the world -- and not a negative one. If the naysayers had ever thought to join up and do something "out there", they might see this. And if they did join and failed to see the difference, it is my opinion they simply were not trying very hard.
It's out there -- honest,
