How do US soldiers feel about Iraqis?

Question

Are the Iraqis the enemy? Are there many (any?) Iraqis who deserve asylum in the U.S?
.

Sawnegeetl: You're right. It's the soldiers themselves who should be speaking, and to whom the question is directed. Unfortunately, there don't seem to be many on YA right now. :(

Answer 1

One downside of allowing asylum to Iraqis is that it would deprive Iraq of the kind of people Iraq needs to move that country forward.

Answer 2

The guys I have talked to who are in or who have been in Iraq have very strong positive feelings about the Iraqi people - and re-enforce what we hear from other sources, that there is a tremendous amount of good work, rebuilding and positive accomplishment in the country that never get reported on the US news.

There are dangerous dissidents and everyone is on alert. But contact with the majority of the Iraqi people is a positive experience, and the soldiers stress that the Iraqi civilians are more at risk from terrorist attacks than they are.

Answer 3

you cant just categorize every Iraqi just like any nation there are good people and bad people. and how can someone state how a solider feels about Iraqis if they are not a solider there selves people are ridiculous and need to keep there pie holes shut if they haven't walked a mile in there shoes.

So been on Irish soil they had to enable the prisoners off the airplane right here, an order by utilising the Irish government minister it replaced into on our television showing the prisoners walking off the airplane. next day the US embassy would not subject a fact i ask your self why?

Answer 8

They feel like they are there to protect some & take down the others that constantly do harm.

Answer 9

YOu cannot catagorize each individual as a whole. I am sure that each one has their own opinion of how they feel towards them. It just depends on what kind of interaction they have experienced.

Answer 10

I guess they feel just like a sniper feels about his/her target. Or just like sadists feel about their victims.
