The purpose of the "list" is clearly intended to honor the GIs for the luxuries their sacrifices have given us. It is not our place to turn this thread into an opportunity to spout our opions and ideologies about current foreign policy stratgies, etc.
Let's just allow the troops a little credit and honor, and save our opinions for another time and place (if you please).
