@Nonilex I can't believe they are doing this again. During the first Gulf war, I was on a road trip going though a tiny Montana town, which was having a parade. It was for a kid in the army who was back from the middle east. It was a festive occasion. But, as MTG has described, the subsequent parade of body bags from the forever wars was exhausting. This is the problem with the GOP, they don't listen.
