I was looking for this the other week. If you sign up for the military in order to go to college, don’t act surprised when you get stationed in a place where you might get shot. Don’t forget that these aren’t the only things we have been involved in. Check out this list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_United_States_military_operations

Each star represents a US military base, but just so we’re all clear: Iran is threatening Us
And while you at it, make sure the media doesn’t show any red blood, death, wounded civilians or coffins to the rest of the country. Just stick with the American flag and those yellow ribbons.

I have seen war. I have seen war on land and sea. I have seen blood running from the wounded. I have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. I have seen the dead in the mud. I have seen cities destroyed. I have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. I have seen children starving. I have seen the agony of mothers and wives. I hate war.”
