I love how the people who claim to know the most about the war are people who hear about it on CNN, but the people who put boots on the ground are discounted. If you hate Bush, fine hate him, he'll be gone in two years, but don't mix your negativism, defeatism in with the reality of the war. We captured Saddam, killed his sons and Zarqawi, established two democracies and have put Osama in permanent hiding. All this while losing less men than we used to lose in one battle in World War II.
In the Vietnam War, there were numerous anti-war statements by those who had been there, so they had more credence, but that is not the case. There are only a few anti-war vets and if you talk to them, they are more anti-deployment than anti-war. Re-enlistments are at an all time high because those of us who have been there no the good we are doing.
