#2 Leveling Dresden and other centers of National Socialism, plus helping us out in Afghanistan and Iraq, is all the repayment I need.

Oh, and that little bruning down DC thingy back in 1814, forgiven in this holiday season!

#3 DC burnt again in 1968, but it wasn't the Poms as I recall.

#5 Yea, but it's safer here than in my home town. Surrounded by hundreds of heavily armed 19 and 20 year olds, and way too much DFAC chow. The American people are absolutely the best. God Bless them all. You would simply not believe the hundreds of boxes of goodies that these troops get every day from folks back home and people they don't even know. Good stuff too! Stuff they can use. Family, friends, school kids, churches, VFW, American Legion, it comes from everywhere. It makes an old man emotional, very emotional to see it all. I've seen it before in other places, but nothing like here. You talk about a morale builder, wow. Merry Christmas to all and thanks for supporting these young men and women. The hope for America is not found in Washington, it's found in these young people, I can tell you that for sure.

#7 After about five years of war the public still love and support the troops. The msm's should be ashamed of their coverage of this war. I hear every day about how this generation of kids are fat, lazy, don't care, etc... but then when I go to work and see the troops, see how they are at the JSOTF's, listen to them talk, I understand they have a clairity most of us did not have at their age, at least not me, and understand the world in ways our political leaders only wish they understood. I for one am very proud of them, as they grow older and become civic leaders in America I see great things in our future, Kissinger can kiss our ass. Until then we need to continue to bitch slap our inept politicians and seditious MSM's.

Amen. Preach it, brother!

And grateful Christmas wishes to all the troops from whatever countries who are putting it all on the line for us.

#9 God bless you and the outstanding young men and women you're over there with, B. They are the hope of this country, the true "best and brightest". I've got a pint here; consider yourself and your friends saluted with it. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all!
