I going to sound like a hippy, but this war is not worth the lives lost and impacted. This war is only about the Democrats making good on campaign rhetoric from 2004 and 2008 about Iraq being the “wrong war at the wrong time”. It was disingenuous argument to be against the war in IRAQ to appease the anti-war element, but still looking strong on National Defense. Democrats never thought they would actually have to fight a war in Afghanistan. Troop should not die for the RATS to save face. Bring them home.
You DO NOT sound like a hippy to me.
You sound like a real American grounded in reality.
