You Need Me On That Wall!: The Iraq war is over!

The Iraq war is over!

Well, it must be... you don't hear about it on the news at all do you? The war seems to have completely disappeared. You would think there would be a story or two on this weekend, since it's Memorial Day...

I wonder if the upcoming election is part of the reason we are not hearing anything about the war anymore. Any good news out of Iraq will help McCain. I'm willing to bet that a big attack (or even a small one) against the U.S. or Iraqi government forces will result in front page news. Relative peace and progress will result in continued silence from the media.

Col. Jessep:

Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. ...my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!
