Okay- I will tell you..
I use to be against the war, until the day we went to see my step son and his marine troop return from Iraq. The look on every single one- and it was a mass group of several platoons, obviously those young men felt what they did was important. Then as the days progressed- hearing the stories with pictures I cant post, of woman with baby carriages and their child in there- with enough explosives to blow UP TEXAS, or in peoples huts, with explosives to take out more than that- IF YOU DIDNT BELIEVE IT WAS A THREAT- you would after seeing that.. No ONE EVER on the media reports schools being built as neighborhoods stabilize or the progress of trade returning with people getting a normal life. They have a show on this once in a blue moon- but meanwhile all they focus is the areas still not stable- and considering the whole country was unstable when we went there- and the improvements made in area after area- its obviously progress. MAJOR PROGRESS..
As a Christian as the Bible states, the area will never not be fighting- that is what I believed- until seeing all that, all the pictures, seeing the faces on the men that went there- and facts of the lack of regard for human life to the point they have the money to make tank piercing missles- we need to stay there until its done.
As far as our fallen service men- let me tell you- more DIE AT NIGHT in DC on any given day then weeks to months in Iraq.. No kidding!!
If Clinton had done something in the first sets of bombings here- etc- maybe they would not have come here with airplanes into buildings. I saw the Pentagon burn- stuck in Arlington for 12 hours trying to get home- .. all because some " tribe" organization felt they could take on the US- a handful ot them- like 100 felt from our lack of involvement we were an easy target- .. Its like a bully- they see no reaction as weakness and come after us.
We live too close to the governement to not see things- but I do know this- if some small group can believe the US is a weak country- better check our history - .. The idea of " lets sit down and talk to open communications " is flat out STUPID! They havent gotton along for thousands of years- do not respect women anyway- and to have someone like Hillary- where her husband did nothing either, they would just laugh her right out of the room of "peace talks"... Only one thing they respect- POWER- thats it.. Its so obvious its not even funny..
