Terry Stater Column

Terry Stater has written an outstanding column entitled: The Second Casualty of War, you can find it HERE on STLToday.com
A short excerpt: If “In war, truth is the first casualty,” the second is the image and reputation of our military. It has been under attack for 40 years. It isn’t the primary target; it is collateral damage, or a useful secondary target, in a war on the war.

Very worthwhile reading.
