9 Years

It's hard to believe that much time has gone by already. I'm serving with troops on this deployment who were ten years old when the September 11th attacks took place. In one sense, it's inspiring to see that our nation has the will to drive on for this long. Unfortunately, there's still too many, even within the services, that don't understand why this will be be on ongoing war, at some level, until Islam experiences a Reformation of its own, or western civilization dies of apathy and self-indulgence. I know which one I'm aiming for.
