Hi Tony,
I am with you too.
Here in Italy, the majority doesn't like the Army at all, and even some of the comments herein would be considered as "fascist"... peopele here just take everything for granted without considering the cost, the pains and the sacrifice of many who made them possible; nor they consider a duty and a priviledge to serve to mantain them.
I am so fed up with this attitude but here everything becomes biased, you cannot argue nor show the evidence, you became instantly a bloody criminal...

Anyway, sorry for the outbrust, but what happended to your doughter made me burn...
I join the others in thanking her for her job!
Edo

Tony,

I may be wrong, but this is what I think about what happened to your daughter: although US took part in most wars that took place in XX and XXI century most of US citizens never seen or even felt any result of war or human oppression. Freedom (of speech, of work, of religion etc) is given to them and something given has no value for them. Value of freedom is understood only for these who fought for it or experienced lack of it.
Therefore actions of your daughter are not understood and undervalued only by people who take freedom for granted and don’t understand its value.
People who understand the purpose and know real image of actions of your daughter and her army friends would never say something like that.
Knowing history of Poland I cannot underestimate importance of army.

BTW: I don’t think your daughter should mind anyone fukked up enough to wish other person’s child burn in hell (such a gentle, pacifistic mind…)

Give my regards to your daughter.

Andrzej
