Austin Bay Blog » UPDATED: Merry Christmas/With a note from Iraq: "This is not a nation at war so much as it is an army at war. Service members and their families mostly bear the weight of the Iraq and Afghanistan missions alone — family separations, career dislocation and danger. Many soldiers are serving third tours, and there is no clear end in sight."

An army at war -- BECAUSE the anti-war Americans won't support the nation at war. Which might a good thing.
