I thought we had learned our lesson of engaging in wars of choice after Vietnam. (The Gulf of Tokin incident never really happened) Our current excursions into the various sandboxes where our sons and daughters are put in harms way, are evidence that we have not learned that lesson. We need to remember those that have served, but I am more interested in a public and a government that exercises better judgement as to when they choose to shed the blood of our loved ones in the future.
