Does it ever occur to these people that the reason our soldiers “are not being shot at” in Bosnia, South Korea, Japan and Germany is because back when they WERE being shot at, we didn’t cut and run. We persevered in the main task the military was sent to accomplish, and our troops then stayed to help preserve the sometimes fragile peace — with varying degrees of success at various times, but generally with more success the longer they stayed (which included staying through some tumult and some insurgency activity).

Also, how come these folks were not upset about our military being shot at when Saddam was shooting at them, repeatedly, in the no-fly zone prior to 2003?
