A tough story to read dry eyed. I frequently am frustrated by the media for the paucity of coverage on Afghanistan these days, and for that matter by the membership of our forums for the relative lack of acknowledgment and conversation that we are still at war. In my humble opinion- we waste far too much time guessing what the DoD budget will mean to ROTC scholarships or graduate school slots or SA appointments, or the relative prestige factor associated with an SA vs an Ivy League College etc... and way too little reflecting on the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen who have fought and are still fighting the 12 + years of war that we are still fighting.
