During the late '60s & early '70s I marched against the war and felt many atrocities were inflicted by our soldiers, but my protests were to get our soldiers home safely. <BR/>As I think back on that time I can only imagine how those young men (mostly) dealt with the horrors and fears of the time. They could not recognize the enemy ... it could be a child, a young woman, or an elderly person so how else could such young people react in any way differently than they did?<BR/>I don't agree with the way we got into this current war(s), but that does not diminish the hope I have of bringing our soldiers home safely at some point in time. <BR/>Peace is a lofty dream but one I hope can be reached. Your words give me hope.Cheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.com
