Pearl Harbor

As I've been reading my uncle's account of his time at Corregidor and following prison of war experience, December 7 has a new meaning to me. I always expected to be drafte and thought it was a good thing. Then LBJ screwed it up, by treating draftees as cannon fodder without a goal of defeating the enemy.

Iraq is different. We know what we're trying to do, whether the Democrats get it or not. Our troops are volunteers, and their morale is high, and I believe they are making a difference. What other nation would respond to something like 9/11 by liberating people?
