Thanksgiving and the Troops

The news is filled with stories of the troops in Afghanistan away from their families for Thanksgiving. Obama even called some military personnel from the different branches to thank them for their service and wish them a happy Thanksgiving. But on this day we should never forget that the US military has no business in Afghanistan or any other foreign country. There is no reason for anyone in the military to be away from his family on Thanksgiving. It is the pilots, nurses, taxi drivers, and convenience store clerks in the US that we should thank for their service on this day.
