Authors Note: 'Bart' Abbott is a fictional character and a literary device, but the men referenced in this post are not. It is the authors intent to treat the story of their time with the respect it deserves, in order that their sacrifice and the impact of their loss will be understood by a modern audience.

The posts on this blog are written in recognition of the fact that without the sacrifice of the lives of these men and millions of others in the defense of liberty and freedom, that this story, and the basic freedoms that we live with today would not be possible.

4000 dead? In **One** battle?

Nawwwww. That's more than America is allowed to lose in an entire war! That's insane!

Those clippings must be fake!

Clicked the button to make exactly that comment, Voot.

But how do you respond to those that ...
"We're not at war."
Or worse...
"Bush lied and invading Iraq was a horrible mistake."

I'm at the point I don't want to waste time in that discussion, and that scares me. What happens when we give up trying to communicate?
