A merican soldiers are warriors, members of the same team who

live the values instilled in them by the United States government every

single day. Placing the mission above all else they never

accept defeat, never quit, and never leave a fallen comrade. They are

disciplined, mentally and physically tough, trained and proficient; the

epitome of patriotism and pride, strength and valor, promise, and

heroism. They risk their lives to protect loved ones, friends, and family in a

faraway land of sandstorms and barren rock. They choose to fight,

and in so doing relinquish the luxury of asking why. A soldier

never questions orders, for a command is simply obeyed, and so

questions and insecurities are indulged by civilians only, which

makes it our duty to ask.

W hile we appreciate the sacrifices made by the heroics of our

generation is it wrong for us not to want our friends, our brothers

and sisters, our aunts and uncles, and our parents overseas fighting in a

war believed by many to be powered by greed and corruption?
