Sorry Soldier but your fellow Americans allowed this to happen by not standing up to fight these radicals... they don't have the will, the courage nor the honer to stand up and fight as you all have bravely done for the past 10 years...

I for one am sorry and full of regret, that you will come home to an America that is no longer the one you were fighting for... We are now in final stages of a police state... freedoms = gone
