That's because international Islamic religious fanatics have the same goal as the Axis fascists - the destruction of our way of life.

Because our homeland and very survival are once more at stake, the American people can't afford to treat this new war against terrorism like they did Vietnam.

That's what supporting the troops is really all about - making sure American grunts get the right stuff!

It's human nature to start taking things for granted again when danger isn't banging loudly on the door.

Writing with you is the only thing that keeps me alive.

We citizens don't need to know every detail of every military operation in this new kind of war. Nor should the media tell us and hence our enemy.
