People do not seem too shy about asking a veteran if they killed somebody in Iraq.
It almost always makes me wonder if they are truly prepared for the answer and the accompanying truth.
It makes me wonder if they really want to know what it may be like...
What it may be like to shoot a man in the back just for shining a flashlight at you through the darkness.
Or what it might feel like to kill children by running over them while they begged for food.
What it might feel like to look over your shoulder while in your garage at night lest the shadows come to life and pull you into the depths of wailing and gnashing of teeth...

Just remember that alot of folks have neither tact nor class. I believe an intelligent person would never ask a veteran those questions.
All the best to you and yours.
A grateful American
