I hope they do come home fast because I already have friends there, and my best friend is supposed to be shipped off in Feb or something. My friend Valerie (USMC) is already at 22 on her list of friends that died. Going over there in the first place was a mistake, but now we have to make the best of it and get out quickly.
And Normandy was a mistake as well (of course we lost more troops on that single day than we have in both Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom combined, but that was a totally different thing, right?)
No one likes war. No one. Especially when you read or hear of loosing another one of America's finest. But you must put things into perspective. And we must finnish the job of creating a solid democracy in Iraq before we even pull one soldier out. Whether that's 2 months or 2 years. Whatever must be done is what we need to do.
