Congratulations to one and all for the civil way in which opinions were offered and discussed. People stuck to the subject at hand and didn't demean anyone for holding a position which might be contrary to theirs Military people, and people who support the military, can get quite "colorful" in their language when discussing things passionately. If the members of congress and left wing supporters could discuss things such as this with the same respect everyone here has shown, I can't help but think the bi-partisanship needed in congress would be there and the country would be in a much better position to take on the problems of the day.
