Bagger,
Believe me that comment was not meant to take anything away from the men and women who are out there fighting for our freedom . As I said ,I think about them every day.I was not trying to get political ,feel free to edit my post.
As an Englishman living in your country I can assure you I refrain from "talking politics" other than when asked about British politics,as I don't feel I have the right to give opinions when I can't vote.
I still think about U.S. military personnel " doing their job" -every day .They are incredible people.
