    You don't have to be in the war to make a comment about the war. Your opinions may be different from those have been there and completely disagree with what we're doing there (fighting for a war that should not have started to begin with). Opposing the war does NOT mean that you don't support the troops. Those who oppose the war ACTUALLY care more about the troops than those who want to continue the war so that they can profit. I have served in the Army for over 13 years. I have seen the horrors of the War in Iraq and treated wounded soldiers.
    If the Administration wanted to "liberate" the Iraquis and remove the dictator, then they should have told the truth from the start and tell the American people we went there to remove the dictator and promote REGIME CHANGE and NOT because of WMD's and all the other lies we have heard...

    Did you kinow that we supported that evil dictator for decades? Who do you think gave Saddam his weapons? Answer: The US, So, we did not care that he made atrocities because he was our "ally". I support the troops, I have served for 13 years and I will continue to serve. I do NOT agree with what we're doing and I believe we should come home immediately. I have seen how badly people are coming back and the suffering of the troops themselves and their families. Stop being so proud! Your experiences are not the same of all of us who have made the same sacrificies you have made. I honor and admire your service brother. But, we cannot remove every single dictator in the world by creating wars. We must promote peace by setting a good example and stop promoting dicators like Musharraf in Pakistan. Stop aide to Israel, bring all our troops home from the middle East including Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.
