I thought being in the military, there was no risk of being laid off and stuff.

Let's just assume, for the sake of argument, that the decision to go into Iraq was wrong, and that the only reason al Qaeda is there is because of our actions. Just for this question, assume it. That way no discussion of the past is relevant.

But today we are faced with this situation: al Qaeda is in Iraq NOW. We are fighting them there NOW. American policy is to fight them and deny them a base of operations. They are stirring up existing sectarian hatreds to create chaos and get the US to leave.

We can fight them, as we and they are engaged there right now, and demonstrate to the Iraqis that we are committed to helping the government. Already the perception of our increased commitment is resulting in some Iraqi leaders withdrawing support for the sectarian militias and looking to the central government for protection. We can take lemons and make lemonade, if you will.

Or we can withdraw.

I ask this question because there are a lot of people who seem to think it is a large number. I could use Vietnam as an example (50,000). What about Iwo Jima in WW2 (5,000). Normandy. Battle of the Bulge. Why is it horrible when someone who knows what they are getting into and have the training to defend themselves dies? Is it worse to die like that or from being a disgustingly obese American. Over 200,000 people die every year from heart disease. Is it on the news daily? What about the drunk driving number of 16,000/year. I guess it isn't "cool" to go out and protest either one of those is it?

I'm in the U.S. Army and I recently found out I am pregnant with my first child. I am still with the father, but he is leaving to Ft. Campbell, which leaves me here in Germany. My MOS (sadly, we dont have alot of places we can get station at.) I am new at this parenthood. I really want to know what options I have before I take another step in my life ( I guess you can say it like that.) P.S. the father doesnt want to be here, he hates germany more than me.

They are using the, "I'll get the troops out of Iraq" ploy to get votes and not talking about stabilizing the region. It's a 'mob rules' tactic when the commanders are trying to get MORE troops there to get the job done better. They are talking about shame when the president said "Mission accomplished" four years ago. We DID oust Saddam and defeat his army. We did accomplish that mission so I don't know what they're talking about. There is a certain level we can achieve but if we stop now because 'we need to get the troops out' it'll be business as usual and the bad guys will win once again. I think we need to finish the job or wait until there's more stability. I've been there four times now and I know these people are worth it and it's worth it to help create stability there.

I'm worried that this nightmare will never end. The different factions in Iraq are locked into a civil war, and the American soldiers there are just like another faction in a sense. Hussein was definitely an evil man, but the things going on in Iraq now are even worse than the things that he did. Some people have referred to this as a vacuum of power. He should stop vetoing troop withdrawal bills and stop more American soldiers from being killed. This could go on for centuries.

Did we not take out Iraq's entire government and destroy the regime that controlled Iraq? Did we not kill the barbaric sons of the dictator? Did we not watch that dictator swing by the rope of justice? Sorry folks we are in a post war phase dealing with insurgents. We had to do it with the Nazis and the difference here is that we have weak minded Dems who strive for power and could care less about what we need to do in Iraq to help the new government form. Fine, pull the troops and let the cave people have at it. But; WE WON THE WAR!
