I See D.U.M.B. People
"The nation that makes a great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools."
(Thucydides 450 B.C.)
During the past year we have seen many thinking cowards come out of thier caves to express one-sided biased opinions the Global War on Terrorism. In many instances, these members of the Distinguished Uniformed Mainline Brotherhood (D.U.M.B.) have braodcast blatant distortions of the truth while failing to report the incredible work our soldiers are continually doing in hostile conditions. Of course, we have a free country with a free press, and the D.U.M.B. members have the right to air thier opinions.
When you are far from home, whether in Germany or down range, it is easy to get discouraged when you hear stories from D.U.M.B. sources who have never served thier country and who will never understand what it means to be a soldier. Under these circumstances, when you find yourself feeling pessimistic, you should take heart. Remember: You are a member of the most intelligent, most highly technical fighting force in all of human history performing a signifigant mission. Take pride in the fact that this war is being fought by scholary warriors. Above all, you are making a difference.
We are proud of all our deployed family. And Thucydides would be proud of you as well.
