+1 for watching the documentary about it. It's amazing what the people of our armed forces go through on a day-to-day basis overseas. Reiterating on what is always said, we tend to glorify the war here on the mainland and think of it as almost a charade. Being over there.....I can only imagine the realization that one experiences with all of the situations that they are put through.
To the members of the military on here, I know it seems empty to read and methodical on we civilians' part to write this, but thank you all for making the sacrifices you have made for your friends, your families, and your country. Every day you wake up a member of a free, democratic society, it is a fruit obtained from these hardworking people.
