Then again, except for Hawaii, (and Alaska, or at least the Aleutian Islands) the US was not invaded in the the 1940's, as we were on 11 Sep 2001. (and after that, in the form of bio-warfare through the mail) In other words, our entire civilization is now "the front line" in the War on Terrorism, whether it be Tel Aviv, New York, Bali, or Madrid. Or even Riyahd or Baghdad. Terrorists by definition do not wear uniforms, and use the Geneva Conventions against us. But the War on Terror is actually most active on the Home Front, in the "Media War." No matter what our brave men and women in uniform accomplish, we will LOSE this war if we allow terrorists (and their "unwitting" allies in the media) to define the battlefield.
