26. Righ on 11 Bravo
Before the the Iraq war launched I was told by a non-vet (I'm former Navy with a campaign ribbon for Persian Gulf Service) to get out of the country. I blasted him right there, telling him that he did not have the commitment or balls to serve his country, and what gave him the right to tell me I'm not fit for my own. He never mentioned that to me again.

We Vets have to respond to all those who equate anti-Iraq with appeasement, especially those who question our bravery, and patriotism.
The right wing loud-speakers have drilled this talking point for years, and it needs to be countered.

Bravo Zulu, 11 Bravo,
