Probably the latter, the my point remains valid in that what war that the US is involved in doesn't "leave US soldiers' kids at risk"? None that I'm aware of
I certainly agree with you on that, however, there may well be one key difference (at least since the first Desert Storm) in that our military is now using many more reservists than ever before, and for much longer period of times.
Perhaps, but this new war, with a whole new kind of enemy has managed to alter how we prosecute a war
