that letter from the soldier nearly brought tears to my eyes. It's one thing to sit safely behind my desk and tsk tsk tsk at Bush for saying 'Bring it on' but I never fully thought about what those soldiers would feel. I've never doubted that any of them who went over did so with full confidence that their President wouldn't put them in harms way unless it truly served to protect the United States. That is why we honor 'the troops' not because we agree with the action they are currently involved in but because they are at the cutting edge of policy. Their blood, sweat, and tears defend this country and they do so out of loyalty and faith that the President wouldn't risk them for specious reasons.

To suddenly have that faith shaken... that is rough. They still have a job to do, and they still have to keep themselves alive.

We need to remove Bush from power so we can renew the bond of loyalty, renew these soldier's faith in their Commander-in-Chief.
