Its heart-wrenching for all vets, and even worse for those still in the Army who have served in the war on terror.
I'm willing to let you and your mates go back if that is what we decide. I do have a couple of requirements though:

1. Congress has to Declare War formally and commit the country completely. Treat it as a "true" war upon which we feel our survival and fortune depends.

2. You and your mates get to write the rules of engagement.
