Thats a good question. The folks who say that are the same ones who chanted "war never solved anything." And they would be right except that war DID end slavery, fascism, nazism and communism. And it has brought hope and freedom to Iraq. Concepts the peaceniks don't have a clue about.

But I digress. Jamsmom, when someone says those photos are staged, just say "you were abused as a childhood, weren't you?"

There was a traitorous coward "concientious objector" (who was unworthy of the name "Marine") interviewed on FOX the other night. He was saying how NO war the US could ever fight would be just and that he hoped the US would LOSE in ALL future conflicts. How can you reason with a dirtbag like that? THOSE are the kind of people who say these photos are being staged.

Heck, I bet that guy doesn't even like Disneyland. Some American. Bah.

Look at these pictures and remember this great thought:

What you experience shapes who you are more than anything else. These young soldiers will come back with these experieces you see, and the experiences of the horror of war. These young adults become the future decision makers for this country (both civil and military). I feel they will be come excellent, balanced decision makers that will have a permanent, positive impact on the world.
