At War?

One idea that we as Americans should take to heart when people talk about America being at war is that very few of us can legitimately make that claim. As the saying goes, "the military is at war, America is at the mall." Certainly, mistakes have been made post-9/11, such as diverting our attention from Afghanistan to launch the boondoggle in Iraq, but I remain humbled by the dedication of our men in uniform.
