I don't understand why all you report about is just the reserve units that go to war. My son is in the Air Force and completed one tour in Iraq and is going back in a couple of weeks for a second tour. When he came home their was no news people at the air port no newspaper reporters or supporters, nothing but his mom and brother, sister and grandmother. When he left it was the same. Their are more then just reservists that are fighting over their part time. My son is in it for the long haul. He even reenlisted on 9/11/07. Where is the fan fair for the rest of our troops? My future son in law is getting shipped out next week as well and he is in the Marines. Start reporting about all our kids and not just the ones that make a big deal about going over. They get to lead their lives and get paid by the government until they are needed. Then they come home and get their jobs back. My sons job is with the Air Force every day. He did not even get to come home for his beloved Grand fathers funeral. You also report about the two parents in the reserves that both get the call. Poor things they got kids. Then give the money back if you are not going to fulfill you obligation. You knew the risk when you signed up and accepted the money for doing this job. Yes I feel sorry about everyone going over their, but report fairly about all the kids not just the reservists. .
