I think this picture shows some of the reality. We should never put our military in harms way for light or frivolous reasons. However, when we are attacked, then it's time to commit the troops to punish the aggressors, to kill them and destroy their ability to make war. We should not waste the lives of our military trying to make democrats out of barbarians. Just my opinion.
Today's date is also interesting in itself: 11/11/11.
