As a current active duty Air Force service member who has nearly completed five years of service, how heart-wrenching it is to know that _some_ people believe that we are all *stupid for the service we provide our country. I wish that Erok were given one chance to say that to a mother/father/husband/wife/child or even a friend who has lost someone in this questionable, but what I feel is neccessary war. I wish he were given one chance to say that to my mother and see how fast she slaps the taste out of his mouth. There is nothing like telling your parents or loved ones that you won't be home for Christmas or Thanksgiving because you'll be working an eighteen hour shift or that it'll be another year before you can see them again or having a family member or friend pass away and not being there. I believe that every person has the right and the freedom not to like our President Bush or support his cause. However it is my personal opinion, that those who will go so far as to do a verbal injustice and disrespect to our country and the servicemembers and their families, should find residence elsewhere: you are not welcomed here by people like myself and our veterans who signed a contract binding us to protect your family, your freedom, and your life knowing that one day WE may give the ultimate sacrifice. IMHO.
