Ocean City - A Wildwood spouter stated that owing the military our freedom has not been true since World War II ended. That's not correct. While most historians agree that the Eisenhower era "domino theory" was not valid, any historian will tell you that during the Cold War, there came times when hot wars like Korea and Vietnam were inevitable. The same holds true for later actions in the Middle East in the post Cold War era. International relations involve far more than what we see on the 6 o'clock news, and while none of us have ever feared invasion by Bosnia, we had a real reason to be there.
