I was thinking about the huge contradiction in our culture as Americans, about a nation founded on courage and loyalty, and the cries to run away like frightened children.

Why, back at home station, do they reenlist to stay with units who are already confirmed to be on orders to deploy back to Iraq?
Find out why.
