Jon, I understand your frustrations, however;
No one is shooting at me.
No one in my family has had his/her head cut off.
I can go where I please, when I please (within reason).
My kid lives in a safe community.
I can choose which God to believe or not to believe in.
The females in my family can go to school and are treated as equals (or better).
The cost of the Afghan deployment: Billions!
The ability to rest easy at home because tough, well-trained men are sorting out the fanatics on their territory: Priceless.
