Out of the mouthes of babes...

I was in the local supermarket with my daugher and a couple of soldiers were doing a bit of shopping when Chloe said "OMG there are a couple of solidiers over there and they are actually still alive!". Its sad when kids only hear about soliders getting killed here there and everywhere on the news

Sadly that's how media works. No ones going to tune in to hear about nothing eventful happen to a group of 12 soldiers.

Yeah its a damn shame too, these kids are involved in some great humanitarian projects too. I do not want to seem condescending saying kids, but these soldiers are young men and women, the best of us, that volunteer to safeguard our country and to right the wrongs foisted on the people by ruthless dictators that suck the wealth and freedoms from the people they rule. These soldiers rebuild the destruction, they teach children, they provide food and aid for citizens, they rebuild roads and schools as well as rebuild hopes and dreams that have been destroyed by the radicals that oppress the people they are there to help. God bless them all.
