This is contrary to what we are seeing on the news today and the way most of us envision our troops in the execution of their duties while in Iraq.
The American majority is just as horrified as the rest of the world over the actions of a few, and only represent that small portion of peoples in every country that would act outside of the norm.
To see our men and women gathered together, praying before they met the tasks of the day, in a unified commitment to seek truth in their own hearts before dealing with their mission, is a more accurate depiction of those that represent us all.
We stand with them in support and believe in them as they face a task more difficult than we could imagine.
Here are our men and women interacting with families and their children, bringing smiles, not destruction.
A man receiving a letter of love, encouragement and support from his loved ones at home.
A man holding a small child, caring for her as he would his own.
Men and women seeking guidance from their God, together as brothers and sisters, that they might serve a greater good.
And yet another of our brothers and allies that have also taken on this insurmountable task in support of our unified purpose. One who takes the time to celebrate the life of even the smallest of creatures.
Would any of us treat a human with less compassion?
