How many traffic cops do you know that spend 10 months at a time overseas in a war zone with their families at home praying to God to not get a knock on the door? To call it a job just like anything else is, well, not something I agree with.

Sure the military of our generation isn’t out keeping a clearly defined enemy behind clearly defined borderlines like our grandparents generation, but the world we live in isn’t the same world as our grandparents grew up in.

I’m thankful for each and every man and woman who have chosen to join the military, regardless of their reason for enlisting.
