I went to Afganistan, then Iraq then back to Afganistan. I did as I was told, I kept my mouth shut and broke my own morals in the process. If I sell a car to you, and we make a contract stating that its fully working and has an MOT, and then low and behold all of my promises are a comllete fabrication then are you are bound by your end of the bargain? They void their own contract with their action so why shouldnt a MAN look to himself when he has found his superiors to be liars and oathbreakers.

@MrJaxwin soudis don;t have the high tech the usa has to demolished 4 buildings in a few seconds. and the most important making the americans believe the attack came from terrorist when the only terrorist live in your own country, the big usa. do your own research. Please do not believe anything I am saying, but if you do your own homework you'll find out the truth.

i fought in iraq so people can sit and play monday morning quarterback about how the nation should be run. the same asses that say we need to stop the wars will be the first to complain WHEN we are attacked again.

@Mr2x41990 Terrorist??? what terrorist??? the only terrorist is US. can you see????

in the name of freedom we go and invade and take countries where no one call us. ask yourself a question... why USA does go and take North Korea? or Russia? (my country) or better yet China???

they all have what they were looking for in Iraq. Can you see how cowards are Americans and NOT take Iran??? it is because Iran have big balls!!! when was the last time Iran has ever attack any country?

@hsybcmpny thats how i felt when i got home also man. what branch you in?

@Mr2x41990 and before you preach anymore about terrorists, remember there's terrorists right here in the US too. But you don't got people busting down your door and running in waving guns at you and your family to search for said terrorists. So how is it justifiable to subjugate people of another country this way, to the point where we're destroying millions of lives to find a few "suspected terrorists"?

[AdraindePanama]

@Mr2x41990 And also conveniently leaves out the fact that the reason that those people are killing our soldiers is because those same soldiers just killed their brothers, and fathers and kicked their whole family out into the streets before calling down an airstrike on their whole apartment, leveling the whole thing leaving them homeless. If someone did the same thing to you, you would also be trying to kill them and drive them from your country.

@Mr2x41990 No one is saying "let terrorists run free". Those of us who disagree with the war is because we see it for what it really is. We are not in Iraq hunting down terrorists that were in Saudi Arabia. We are not in Iraq fighting against terrorists, the real terrorists is our military and the military occupation of these countries. What you see on the news "blah blah 20 soldiers killed today in Kuwait, blah blah" conveniently leaves out how many of them we killed. CONTINUED

@Puterdad Dont be so hysterical sweetheart. Its unbecoming. And its spelt Honour.

[MrJaxwin]

@Mr2x41990 None of the terrorists involved in the 9/11 attacks were from Iraq. They were from Saudi Arabia.
