Since World War II, it can be argued that we have sent our young men and women into harm's way for politically expedient or not completely thought-out reasons. Too often of late, the decision to send our young to war has been made by those who never served, who sought continuous deferments or who never left the safety of the United States while serving.
We are very fortunate to have our troops fighting for us, but the mission really needs to be clearly defined. With the new administration the focus has shifted from Iraq to Afghanistan now, but the question to ask is are we really winning the war?
