Your exact comment in post 47: I don't support a hasty withdrawal.

And I said if your son or daughter was there, you might look at it differently.

That's not the way I read your post but whatever. I hope to HELL if my kids signed up for the military they would follow their orders--wherever those orders might take them, and that they'd serve honorably. I would NOT be one of those parents who spoke out against the military or their mission because I was concerned for my child (at least I hope to hell I wouldn't be). That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to satisfy myself with regards to what they were accomplishing but whether I could or couldn't do that, I would want my kids to honor their commitment.
