War is a weird thing. I don’t know, seriously, I’m sitting here choking up because the POWs have been found and are going to Germany to be checked out before coming home. I can’t believe this story, that the Iraqi commanders fled and the troops didn’t know what to do so they started walking until they found Marines and surrendered and turned the POWs over to them. All seven are there, they’re in good condition (though two have gunshot wounds), and it was all done without a fight. Just sort of happened, a fluke thing this morning that makes America go “whoa … very cool.”
We still have 6 missing. We shouldn’t rest until those 6 are found and brought home, one way or another. We shouldn’t forget the hundred plus others who gave their lives in this conflict. I hope it’s over soon and our soldiers are coming home.
