To all the men and women of the U.S. military - the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard, to those serving Stateside, to those fighting the Taliban and insurgent forces in Afghanistan, to those who face off with the automatons of North Korea 24 hours a day, and to those stationed abroad in Germany, Japan, Afghanistan, and other countries around the world - thank you for your voluntary service and for answering the Call of Duty! The appearance of ISIS and ISIL in Iraq (or as the French call them - daesh ) has once again required the use of force option, by way of airstrikes. U.S. airstrikes, and the airstrikes from other partner nations are sure to last for months! CoD Modern Warfare this is not! Thank you all for your service!
