'supports the troops', just ask them they'll tell ya just how much, words are real easy, as they wave them flags of their patriotism and argue about who really is and does, but the greater majority never demand they Sacrifice, to pay for the wars sent into but especially the results of for those sent, as they demand those serving them do, DeJa-Vu all over again!
July 18, 2013 - Brett Bell says where he’d really like to be is with the soldiers in Afghanistan. Still fighting. Still on a mission.
He’d rather be there, even after his four tours in Iraq as a forward observer for artillery units, where he headed out on patrol each day not sure if he’d be coming back.
