Do not sorrow for those who go in harm’s way in the service of their country. They do this willingly and gladly. Everyone in the services today knew when they joined up, or reenlisted that the war would have a claim on them, but yet they joined. If they are at all like the young Marine that I was they go with a joy in their heart, and a song on their lips.
Those left behind may feel the loneliness of their absents, but they were unable to dissuade then from their chosen path, and now should let them go with their blessing. Right or wrong they do their countries bidding, not theirs to reason why, but to do and make the other guy die for their cause. And their cause is to either convert us all to Islam or kill us, no middle ground for them.
