ditto on the politics, I was looking for opinions just like yours, that affect the people on the ground that have to endure it all. It's a big topic and I'm looking for opinions from real people, not what the editorialists are splashing in the papers. My daughter just returned last November and is already currently training for her next tour. As you may guess I have mixed emotions on it. I would love to see her not go back, but if she has to I want her to have the best available. I still haven't heard back from her on the poll of the enlisteds I asked her for(probably due to intense training going on right now). The outcome of her return email on the subject is the way I'll be badgering my representative and senators. I feel that their views are far more important than my own. I hope I didn't start something that gets out of control for you here.
