I laughed when I read this. Not a laughing matter but I still laughed. You have no real grasp of the cost of this war that was a lie. ALMOST 4,000 American lifes. Hundred of 1,000's of Iraqi lives. You scream "terrorists", and you have no idea what that really means. I can't even think there are people like you to think this war is worth it. It's so funny how we invaded Iraq, but we don't bother with the other 30 evil dictators in the world that kill 1,000's of there people every year. IT'S NOT OUR JOB TO POLICE THE WORLD. Our fathers have warned us of this.

I was in the Iraq war from the very beginning. I was not frightened to be there other than the "threat" of chemical weapons. That's some scary sh**. After WE, the US Military found out there were none there, we sat there in the sand and said to ourselves WTF. Why are we here. Let's leave right now. We get attacked EVERYDAY, I have lost friends for NO REASON!!! People like you are the reason I hate this government. You are brainwashed and you have no idea. Once you do your research and get out and talk to people your mind will change. We are still there because of cookie eaters like you that will no get off there butt and read and research. People like you make me sick. I think of my buddies that won't come home to there wife and kids every time I hear from sick people like you. Maybe you should do the same.




Thank you for your kind words. I find myself struck with amazement when people will not even listen to me and anything I say. I'm not 100% right on everything I say and I know that. I strive for the facts though. I will never say anything that I have heard via the media. I have learned so much from my experiences and the people I have been around. I voted for Mr. Bush in 2000. I was very much a strong Republican. I even paid for a membership to Rush Limbaugh 24/7!!! I’m not a Democrat or a Republican. Independent I guess you could call it. But, what I do know is that I can see SO much clearer now that I have know what is true and right. I will be honest; I got most of my news from Fox and Rush. I never took out the time to look at the other side of things. It was the thought process of we are right and they are wrong. 100%. They hate us because of our FREEDOM!!! Better over there than our soil!!! 9/11, Saddam, 9/11, Saddam, We were attacked first!! Our biggest problem in this world today is global jihadism. Bull sh** Bull sh** Bull sh**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE SEEN BOTH SIDES!! GET OFF ALL YOUR PARTYS WAGONS AND LOOK AT THE REAL STORY!! I’m so tired of bullying and name calling.

Got off track there.  Thank you for supporting me in the forum of confused souls.

The number is almost impossible to get right but the estimates are around 100,000 civilian’s dead there. No, that’s not the enemy my friend. Now, let's really think if the majority wants us there. Saddam never harbored terrorists. He executed them! I know this guy was a horrible dictator. I'm not saying that he shouldn't be over thrown. I think they are better with him gone. But, ALL of this should have been done differently. My great grandfather is a retired 3 Star General. I would love for us to sit down with him and you can hear what I have to say and what he says about this. In the mean time I might even bring my buddy that is disabled from a roadside bomb. You talk with NO experience and a big mouth and ego. You just stay in your box thinking you "know". I feel sorry for you.
Also, don't attack my service. I am proud to serve our country. I love what we are built on. You split on me with your words just because I disagree with what is going on. Because I challenge what we are doing with peoples LIVES you tell me I shouldn't be in? MY GOD!! Listen to yourself.

I have ETSed years ago for your information that I'm sure you’re happy to hear.



CHECKMATE! Who am I to argue with this?[/QUOTE]

You have NO idea what I know concerning Iraq. Have I been in country? No, I was called up to go with the 4ID through Turkey (we all know how that went). So instead I worked to process over 19000 Soldiers M40 mask before they went over. I am still working here at the installation that in the largest MOB station in the Army. I have spoken to literally thousands of Soldiers who have been to Iraq, including around 100 from my unit. I have yet to have ONE Soldier piss and moan like you have on this forum. To a man (and a good many women) they have ALL been proud of their service and the good we are doing for that country. I refuse to sit by and let you slander the men and women that process through this installation with your "WE" comments. You can speak for yourself, but don't attempt to speak for them.
