(The words of Sgt. Ken Lonn) “I can remember one time when I was going up from my gun position to see where we needed to fire next, I passed one machine gun, and the squad leader was laying there. He was shot through both upper legs, both upper arms and he had a big bandage on his head. Everyone had been wounded, and the least badly wounded was the assistant gunner!” (From Chapter 10)

THE FINAL SOLUTION
Be Kind to One Another
Any American who is politically engaged has recently experienced discord when expressing his or her views to someone on the "opposite side." With the advent of the Internet, the 24/7 television news cycle and an explosion of radio talk shows, Americans are inundated with information about our domestic and foreign policies and instant news events around the globe. Therefore, the ability to share our opinions has never been greater; yet rational discussions about political issues with those on the opposite side have never been more limited. Why is this happening? Why are so many afraid to speak their minds? Why is hostility the reaction when you do speak your mind? Why is it important to know how someone voted in the last election? This phenomenon has affected Americans of all ages who unwittingly expressed their views. Recent studies have shown that people tend to buy homes in neighborhoods of politically like-minded residents. A very recent study of over five thousand participants shows that political views in choosing a spouse take precedence over personality and physical traits. This study adds to other research that has supported the surprising level of uniformity in the choices of where people work and with whom they socialize. This polarization does not bode well for the future of our nation. I would like to start a dialogue among your readers for this topic so they can share their similar experiences. Although this book has yet to be published, I am certain that your audience is just as concerned about the new American division, as I am.
