He took a trip to Iraq to visit the troops with some other NFL players:


-Landing (combat landing) was crazy as they had to drop altitute quick to land instead of approaching (to avoid RPG fire)

-Had to wear all the body armor

-Realization of being in danger and what our guys face every day

-Very thankful for the chance to go and to our troops for what they do

-Interesting sign he saw: "complacency kills"

-It really sunk in as reality when he saw what goes on...not like seeing it on tv

-Very happy to be an American and to be home and thankful for the troops protecting that lifestyle

-Had a great time with the other NFL guys

-All the soldiers wanted to (and a lot did) wear his superbowl ring. Especially the guys from New England

I give major props to Ben for going over to support the troops!

Despite what your opinion of the war is everyone should do something for the men & women over there.

Very cool that he brought his Super Bowl ring to share!

I wonder if he met our Harrison37. He's a major who was just deployed over there.

No doubt. If there were one aspect of politics that makes me most angry it's the casual suggestion that not supporting the war can be equated with not supporting the troops. Both sides do stuff like this -- I'm not trying to be partisan. But finding the war distasteful does not mean that one is not profoundly thankful every day for the sacrifice that these men and women, and their families, have made to do their best to ensure that we have freedoms like pissing and moaning on message boards about free agency.

I was being facietious!
