Proud to be a soldier

Joe Roche, a soldier stationed in Ft. Belvoir tells us what the MSM ignores: That the rates of re-enlistment are high, that we now have the best and brightest servicemen and women ever and that casualty rates are relatively low.

Contrary to all the bad news, I see everyday that our soldiers are motivated and eager to contribute and participate in our nation's military missions. This is a very proud and important time to be serving. Considering that out of a population of 285 million, less than one-tenth of one percent are going to war right now, and considering the huge impact we are having on the world, this is a wonderful time to be a soldier in the U.S. Army.
