May all Marines come home safe, but regarding the poem, I agree with Doug - we at home are not sheep. Sheep and sheep dogs are completely unrelated to each other (tho actually, sheep dogs can and do breed with wolves). We are in fact all of the same species, and that fact is too quickly forgotten.

I wish safety to all US Marines, and also to Iraqi civilians, including 'insurgents'. In short, I wish an end to this hateful war.
