The war of terror was soon launched and "Weapons of Mass Destruction" was heard more than anyone wants to remember - - but now that we're in 2010 what is this war really about?
I must admit that I wasn't too interested in the war until I married a soldier. I wasn't personally invested in it - - didn't know anyone deployed and thus very removed from the situation... but overnight the military became part of my life. I felt guilty for being so ignorant about the whole thing but the cure for ignorance is knowledge.
The point of this post is to stress that I think it's all too common for people to not care about what's going on until it hits them. Something doesn't have to personally affect you in order to touch you - - educate yourself on the issues affecting our country and those around you.
