All Americans should thank our military and the job they perform when we are in battle or at home.  The New York Times writer, K.  Belew, and any writer should be required to define their platform, i.e., name, rank, and serial number, when writing a column.  This would immediately identify where they are coming from.  They would be not writing these columns if they were in any other country.  The military has gone to battle many times to give Belew this right.  She must not have been thinking very clearly when writing this article!  Doesn’t she realize the soldiers are not the people who start these wars. They only follow orders.  When writing this article did she not mean the commander-in-chief and his political assistants are all of these bad things that she called these soldiers.  By all means, please give credit where credit is due  – to the politicians who start these wars.  Your writing reflects the scars of war on our young people whereby some come home in a body bag or disabled and you blame them?
