Well, let's look at one small scene from Iraq (tip to Instapundit for citing this blog):
As civilians rightly run from a suicide bombing, an American soldier faces toward the danger.
And one Iraqi child reacts to save himself by hiding behind that American soldier. The child felt safer behind our soldier than he did running. And our soldier does not flinch from shielding that child.
Our Left likes to pose as "peace protesters." They will shamefully claim we are in Iraq to rape and pillage the land and people there, but our troops are protecting Iraqis from killers and giving their children hope for a secure future.
That little boy is just one reason our troops fight. I'm damned proud of our military.
