Iraq wasn't a threat, yet we attacked. Why? Someone wanted war. Why? It wasn't the American people. It certainly wasn't the boys being killed every day. Who would benefit from such a war? Not the American people. Yet we attacked. Who consolidated his position as a "War" president? Who has been declaring record profits in the last fiscal quarter? Someone benefited, and it is their fault.

No one - and I mean NOT ONE OF US - sitting here tapping away at a keyboard (gleefully, judgmentally) in the comfort of our homes, apartments, shelters, college dorms or whatever, should criticize the commitment, bravery and tenacity of those in Iraq who chose to serve there...for WHATEVER reason they chose to serve!
Personally, I'm old enough to remember 9/11 like it was yesterday. Everyone I knew was murmuring something about Hussein and his angst that the son of Bush (the Great Satan) had returned the Bush family to power. Reminds me of WWII.
People insist that Japan had "tried" to surrender many times before the atomic bombs.
But look back less than 4 years prior to Hiroshima. The Imperialist gov't had placed a personal envoy outside Pres Roosevelt's office. He sat there clueless at the very moment Pearl Harbor was being bombed.
So, if YOU’RE in charge. Who do you believe?
Of COURSE we thought Iraq was behind 9/11!!! Pretty much everyone did. Further, most of our brave troops will tell you that they or those they know (and I mean “up close and personal”) have 1st hand knowledge that there ARE weapons of mass destruction. There may not be as many as we feared, may be more than we've been able to 'officially' declare, though because MOST were likely smuggled off to other countries (or do you think Saddam didn't care about 'looking good'?).
And that doesn't include any that may still be hidden. Why haven't we found them yet? Well, try fighting 2 million homogeneous-looking gang-members in L.A. while searching for camouflaged death-machines enclosed in Pandora's boxes in an area the size of California!
Or, let me lay it ALL on the line. How ‘bout this, oh Savior-Child? Why don't you and I just sign up for the Marines and get over there. Put your money where your Big-Bass Mouth is…show us all your yellow stripe.
People who care the slightest bit for this country and want to criticize our president on reasonable grounds should do so on proven bases: eg: the fact that renewable fuels would've been cheaper than what we’ve spent on this war. And, they’d have brought more stability to that region than any war.
But, then, I guess you never thought of that, did you?
Far be it from me to suggest that it's grotesquely more convenient to lambaste others than to find - on your own - a more achievable solution.
Still and all, young man (woman), my invitation remains open. Wanna re-up? Let's do it! I am NOT afraid.
I do not see, after close examination of all fact, that any ill-will within the desperate, human interchanges between those imbued with the task of governance is at fault.
And I can’t wait to tell your mother and father, as you lay in the hospital with a mild ‘scratch’ that I lost a leg saving your pathetic hide.
More, that you'll look with an astute newness of conscience at your parents and their disdain for this conflict.
Let's Roll.

Regardless of the motivation as to why troops are over there, they are there, and they may not appear to make a huge difference.....but at least they ARE making a difference. From experience I know that serving in those places is hard, uncomfortable and often dangerous 'round the clock work. But I'm sure you'll find for every person against those soldiers....there'll be more that are greatful that they are there.

Of course they are serving our country. Every single person that is in the military has volunteered to protect the U.S. The President of the United States believes that the use of our military in Iraq is essential in protecting our country. That is the bottom line.

Do you ENJOY looking ignorant? When I (AND every other military man and woman) took our miiltary oath, we swore to protect THE UNITED STATES. Too bad we couldn't leave YOU, and other ungrateful brats like you, out of that promise
Read it: Federal law requires everyone who enlists or re-enlists in the Armed Forces of the United States to take the enlistment oath. The oath of enlistment into the United States Armed Forces is administered by any commissioned officer to any person enlisting or re-enlisting for a term of service into any branch of the military. The officer asks the person, or persons, to raise their right hand and repeat the oath after him. The oath is traditionally performed in front of the United States Flag and other flags, such as the state flag, military branch flag, and unit guidon may be present.
In the Armed Forces EXCEPT the National Guard (Army or Air)
I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
So help me God.

They are brave men who get very little in money or appreciation for their sacrifice. They are over there trying to keep muslims from killing each other and blowing up each others kids.
They don't appreciate their sacrifice but we should.
Wether you agree with the government or not they are doing their job. Who is the interest of someone? I mean who or what do they get besides their legs and arms missing.

Our military serving in Iraq are serving big business & the military who are in with big business. War is big business & the heck with the ones that have to fight it! Our military has been serving big business since the end of WWII! But not necessarily to provide our service people with what they need to fight a war. Only to gain more power & to be able to buy billion dollar planes & ships. Our military likes to buy & big business loves selling to them!
