Every once and awhile we all need a good kick in the pants. With much of the media hype that is going on now, one cannot help but notice while flipping thru the news channels to see ever former ex-military, ex-fbi, ex-cia, or ex-military-pundit-of-a-foreign-war-caputred-on-cnn has their two cents to offer. We tend to stop reading the newspapers who offer more than the quick & dirty news because our lives are so much more important. Everyone kind of just takes it for granted that we have Americans, most of whom are our age or younger sticking their necks out on the line to protect the fact that we can go see a concert, have our little get togethers every nite, and the freedom to do what we want to do.

What I'm getting to here. I read a interesting editorial today, saying: This was not Pearl Harbor II. It's not what you think about at first, cause I took offense (for some odd reason), like it was some attack on my generation, but after reading it, it made a lot of sense. Take a read and see what you think.
