Concerns of the troops

Watching MSNBC last night, I heard their reporter who is embedded with the 3rd division mention that some of the soldiers had been asking him what to expect when they return to America.  It seems that some were concerned they would be spit on and derided, much like the returning Vietnam vets had been.  Thankfully, the reporter was able to assure them that even those who may oppose the war want the best for our soldiers and hope that they will be able to come home very soon.

Given that so much of the rhetoric passed around by the pro-war advocates claims that the anti-war side opposes not only the war but our soldiers as well, I was very glad that the reporter not only gave the soldiers what reassurance he could, but that he also felt it was worth mentioning on the air.
