A Soldier's Perspective

   Quoted:

     I feel like all of my efforts (30 months of deployment time) and
     the efforts of all my brothers in arms are all for naught. I
     thought old people were supposed to be more patient than a 24 year
     old but apparently I have more patience for our victory to unfold
     in Iraq than 99.9 percent of Americans. Iraq isnât fast food--you
     canât have what you want and have it now. To completely change a
     country for the first time in its entire history takes time, and
     when I say time I donât mean 4 years.

     Talking doesnât solve anything with a crazed people, bullets do and
     we need to be given a chance to work our military magic. Like I
     told a reporter buddy of mine: War sucks but a world run by
     Islamofacists sucks more.

   That young man has more wisdom than just about anyone in Washington
   DC--or in our press corps it seems.

   It should also tell you something about people who claim that
   "Islamofascism" is an insult to Islam. No it certainly is not. At
   least it was never meant to be, and most who use it (including me)
   mean exactly the opposite by it.

   Anyway, read all of Sergeant Boggs' letter [1]right here.
