7. Your "opinion" being
service members should roust you out of bed instead of waiting until the morning? And when one who serves their country knocks on that door, they don't go alone because of god knows what kind of reaction they are going to get from who answers the door. Those in uniform do the mission that civilian leadership tells them to do. And yes it was extremely stressful. I could rant on about bush and his failed policies but I'd rather ask citizens to think kindly of the ground troops who take the shit, and will take the shit in the future when those responsible for this Iraq debacle are long gone.

Do what I want? I did what I was instructed to do in a proud and professional manner because I had a deep love of those who died whether I knew them or not. I had no desire to roust a loved one out of bed at three in the morning to give them the bad news.

Perspective. Go ahead and piss on a vet for a three hour window that would make zero difference in plans or logistics.
