Bring Me Home

I think this idea has some re

I think this idea has some real potential to get people thinking about the war. It's too easy to get through the day without having to think for real about the situation on the ground, what the soldiers are going through, etc.

I don't know what it takes to bring the soldiers home.

Does seem to me that the U.S. leaders and puppeteers will need to be appeased. They will want to keep their reps as tough cowboys, strict fathers, world cops, and stealth powers. Oh and they won't want to lose any money.

So my guess is that soldiers won't be brought home until everyone who benefits from this war can keep their reputations and their money, and can use the decision for greater political  goodies.
