My son is in the army and has spent the last year in Afghanistan with his EOD unit, looking for and disposing of IED's. Their deployment is over and they are in transit heading back to Washington State. The thing is that they have been sitting at Dover Air Base in Delaware for nearly 4 days waiting for the air force to get their act together and get them home. Probably three times a day they're told to report with the hope that they'll get on a plane, only to be told to come back later. One time they even flew for an hour, only to turn around and head back because a warning light came on. Does the air force not have more than one plane and two pilots? Or do they just not care enough to get these men home to their families? Sorry for the rant. We are definitely thankful to have our loved ones safely back in the country but let's go the extra mile to get them home to their families.
