“there is a 20-year-old airman out there who is working incredible hours, 7 days a week, all for a cause that he trusts is just. He puts his faith in his government, in officers above him and in the people of the United States that he will only be put in harm's way for noble and worthy reasons. That 20-year-old is stationed in Aviano, Italy, and elsewhere across the globe. He does not have time to read the New York Times or to watch CNN to see how the war is going because he is too busy doing his job, making sure that the planes being flown in actual combat missions are as safe and effective as humanly possible. He is unaware of the debates going on in Congress about the wisdom of our policy in the Balkans. He cares little for politics, but he does expect his political leaders to put one concern above all others, do whatever it takes to see that our mission is successful. We are only Americans now, and that 20-year-old airman and all of his fellow servicemen have our total, unqualified, full support. May God bring him home safely.”
