We are bringing "tough" back...

in the words of the Secretary of the Navy "We are a nation at war. Support of our Sailors and Marines in the Iraqi theater of operations is our most urgent task, and I am focused daily on what the Navy and Marine Corps can do to help achieve victory in Iraq and against terrorists elsewhere around the world."....as i prepare to deploy a second time to OIF, i have been watching with amazement at the recent message being sent by some, "retreat"...what the hell happened to the American fighting spirit? "When the going gets tough, the tough get going"...i don't think it meant 'go home'...we hang in there and do everything and anything we can to win...Stonewall Jackson said "When war does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." correct me if i am off here but to me that means get rid of the retreat mindset and let the enemy we are fighting know we are "In it to Win it!" i will finish with a word from one of our founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson "In matters of style swim with the current in matters of principle stand like a rock." has politics become stylish? be a rock....and BE SAFE, sandboxrich
