Modern war is defined by ambiguity. The enemy never wears uniforms. And those wearing uniforms could be friend or foe.
The enemy uses women and children as shields—daily. And decisions of life and death are made at a moment’s notice—impacting lives forever.
Ask any combat veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan.
there may be a few deranged combat troops, and they will get their due.
Yet, too often, when warfighters come home they are second-guessed. Prosecuted by lawyers who never left their air-conditioned offices or politicians with ulterior motives.
Lives ruined, reputations destroyed, families broken—all because they were willing to do things other Americans can barely fathom. They are heroes, every one of them.
If any of us had been captured, our heads would be chopped off.
We play fair, they play dirty.
The enemy laughs at us when we trade killers for traitors, release the “American Taliban” early, and lock up our own.
Our boys did their job, it’s time for us to have their backs.
We safeguard life, they expend it.
We tell the truth, they lie.
