Rich or Wounded, Happy to Head Back to Iraq

Friday, February 29th, 2008

It’s been a treat to hear about the wonderful soldiers who are happy to go back to Iraq and finish the work they have started…yes, you heard it right, they’ve been there, and they want to go back. Today it was Wayne Leyd who won a million dollars with a scratch-off ticket, he wanted to go back and it was in the plans before he won the million…he feels blessed, and wants to pass that blessing along by continuing the good work being done in Iraq.

Then there are the soldiers who return to active service after having lost limbs. Oh sure, the media says that’s because the military, who used to let these guys come home for good, are now rehabilitating them just to get them out in the field again…but be careful with the spin they put on this…wounded soldiers are given the option to return, and many chose to. If you had joined the military by choice (remember, no more draft), had been in active duty, and lost a limb, would you just want to be sent home as someone who is now pretty much useless to the military? I don’t think so…I’m not sure I’d be half as brave as these men and woman, my thanks to you all!
