That was a fine and fitting tribute to your father, and everyone else who sacrificed so we can be free! 
The young people of today have absolutely no idea because they have only lived through peace time. Compounding that is their "feelings " that everything should be "instant." A war should only last a couple of weeks, and when you tire of it, bring everybody back home.
Foolishness!
Those of us who are older, we remember! A war is fought to win!
Exit stategy? When we win, we will exit.
What is winning? When the other side gives up and lays down their arms ... that's winning!
