Where do We Find People Like This

USATODAY.com - Despite hardships of war, many soldiers reenlist
Stories like this just drives liberals crazy -- we are so blessed as a nation to have men and women like this. Also, it speaks volumes for how it "really" is in Iraq for the soldiers.
SANTA ROSA, Calif. - In Iraq, there were the days that ran together in a never-ending stream of patrols, mission after mission that left him cursing the superiors who sent him out into the teeth of the insurgency. There were the nights when mortars crashed nearby, close enough to smell the sulfur. And there was the question that went unanswered every time a friend was ripped by shrapnel or cut down in an ambush: Why are we fighting this war?
Yet when the time came for Sgt. Jason Waits to decide what he would do when his tour in the Army National Guard ended, he barely paused. Before he even left Iraq, Sergeant Waits reenlisted. And if he is sent back, he 'won't have a problem."
