Join the military after 9/11
ABC News had its "Person of the Week" this evening and it profiled a father and son, both helicopter pilots, both are now going to Iraq for a year. The father fought in the first Gulf War and stayed after his son decided to join after 9/11.

And I could not help but thinking how this young man got a raw deal. He wanted, still wants, to defend our country against terrorists and instead... he is going to Iraq.

Sad, sad.
