"The inability to leave a war zone and lack of safety are the two exact reasons I decided not to join the military."

"I'm so confused. In times of war, should I support the troops or the president?"

Young Man

Dustin O'Brien,
Fire Fighter
"Don't they know about the military's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy on the 'when do we get to go home?' question?"

Lewis Richards,

"If those troops keep griping and grousing, I don't think they're going to be named Time's Person of the Year again any time soon."

Old Man

"Years from now, our troops will look back at the war in Iraq and wonder why they haven't been allowed to go home yet."
