Voices in Conflict

<p>Remember back in the good ol’ days when America fought wars like it meant it?</p>

<p>Americans actually rooted for AMERICA.</p>

<p>Journalists actually reported AMERICANS as the GOOD GUYS.</p>

<p>Folks at home went without any number of conveniences so the troops could be supplied with all they needed.</p>

<p>Congress didn’t line defense-spending bills with pork.</p>

<p>Kids ran rubber drives, steel drives, copper drives, etc.</p>

<p>People who were physically disqualified from serving in the military actually committed suicide rather than face family and friends with the (unjustified) shame.</p>

<p>Now Americans protest their own country, journalists openly peddle enemy propaganda, citizens whine if American Idol is delayed by a Presidential Address, Congress cares more about votes than winning the war, kids write plays, and people rejoice in their refusal to serve.</p>

<p>My, how far we’ve fallen. :(</p>
