  When the war comes home...
I will let this article from the Washington Post speak for itself. It deals with a Marine Reserve company of 160 men from Ohio, who returned from Iraq just about a year ago, after losing 23 men killed in action. Their story is one that I am sure will be experienced time and time again for years to come, as long as we remain bogged down in Iraq. The divide between those who have been and those who haven't will continue to widen. In the article, one of the Vets talks about not wanting to hunt for deer any more since he has come back. He says hunting humans is so much more fun. His friends tell him he needs therapy. He doesn't think so.

What is this war doing to our country? Where will it leave us two decades from now?
