Thank you for serving our country. It is a very noble cause. You should never have been put in danger for a cause that is not ours. You deserve better than that.
Our military personnel should never, ever have to risk their lives unless it is in defense of our country.

Is it any wonder Ron Paul receives more donations than anyone else from military personnel?

I wish you all the yuck in the world, you're going to need it.

As a veteran, I do not consider either war to be a waste. Both were absolutely necessary. What I consider to be a waste was the decade-long Nation Building that followed both wars.
