re: Marines enter Persian Gulf

I'm an old man. Relatively anyway. Desert Storm was a long time ago, and in the bigger picture of wars, it wasn't very long.

It's a young man's game. And something we can all agree on (hopefully) is that although I'm not a hero, the young men and women in harm's way are the greatest Americans to ever walk the face of the earth. Period. I see some National Guardsmen on occasion in the morning buying coffee. They will never have to pay if I'm there. What they are asked to do, and do, is something few people could ever imagine. Against the military action? Fine, you have that right. Against your young men and women in the armed forces? Leave.
