[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 520889, member: 18807"] This morning, I assisted WWII Vets boarding an airplane to visit their memorial in DC. Current enlisted soldiers also assisted these men and women. We listened to first hand stories of Pearl Harbor, Normandy, etc. The current troops eagerly listened and slung their heads low after a Sgt. commented on his AK - 'fashion accessory' or the useless tool he was required to carry in combat. An old timer chimed in and recognized the pain in the Sgt's heart - "Son," he said, "you have CNN and all that other fancy stuff following you around tying your hands. We had Ernie taking pictures." (quoting what I recalled) The conversation changed to the media. I have no standing with these brave men and my opinion was not required to move the conversation forward. Tieguy's words mirrored the conversation I listened to this morning. Our soldiers want to be soldiers. War is not pretty but you better becareful because someone is watching your every move. [/QUOTE]
