No I don’t believe anyone can disagree with your point. I just feel that the war is a little more complicated than bombing someone and padding the bottom line. Maybe after 17 years of indoctrination I have a slanted view. Not only am I still in the miltary part-time but I have been employed by Lockheed Martin over the past 12 years. Lot’s of good people are doing good things for our country and its security within industry. that is why I went looking for a job with a defense contrctor, as a sense of duty. Well it was good talking to you. I am bak in Clarke County with April and three kids. You have a nice looking familiy. God bless and take care of yourself.

Hey Darrell, Yes, I am absolutely the same guy. But I don’t understand how having gone to the Air Force Academy would have changed my feelings on this. I’m not criticizing the US military, only the politicians (most of whom ran from real military duty) and the corporations that are profiting from the war. I know guys (marines) who were and are in Iraq and they are good people. But it is simply shameful when politicians and corporations profit directly from actions that sacrifice the lives of dutiful soldiers. If you think differently then I’d love to hear about it.

This can not be the rantings of a man who once dreamed of being an Air Force Academy grad, our is it?
