Marc -

While I almost always agree with your well-considered posts, here I must
strongly disagree. The troops of Baker Company, and their cohorts, have put
their lives upon the line to protect us and our way of life, while we enjoy
comforts they cannot even imagine. Many Americans seem to think that they
have no part in defending themselves, just let someone else do it.

Although you may consider mention of "9-11". etc., to be political, we have
been attacked. When under attack we must respond. If discussion of this is
inappropriate to this forum, then so is much of what has preceded.

My honest response is that I consider any post that mentions "Iraq",
"victims of
9-11" and "avenging the deaths" to be inherently political. I have no
doubt
this was a heart-felt tribute on the part of Baker Company, but the manner
of
its presentation here happened to anger me this morning. So be it. If no
one
posts any political pointers to tributes, I won't post any political
responses.
