with a whimper

The war in Iraq ended today reported the evening news.  Soldiers are coming home.  Our national character will be measured on how we treat the men and women in uniform in the years to come.  Today, there isn't a ticket tape parade in New York or Washington D.C.  It seems we give a national yawn and turn the channel.

  1. If I had TV I'd change the channel, but seeing that I don't I won't, what channel is that War on anyway?

  2. The War only leads in the news when it fits into a 24 hour news cycle. The American military deserves better that then American public.
