The US Armed Forces is a voluntary service; if you don't want to put your ass on the line and serve your country in a war setting you have the option not to. Still, Warriors live to fight.

HOW did we not start this war?

Did Iraq ever attack us?

How is this war necessary?

Did Saddam have Nukes, WMD's, imminent threat, funding OBL, how was he a danger to us?

What are we proving? OOOO yeah Khadafi, whom we blew the hell out of and wasn't much of a factor gave us his weapons. While Iran and N. Korea have been speeding up their production and we haven't done anything to stop them.

So when we invade Iran now (and we will) THEY WILL nuke our ass.

Makes sense to me.

Pick on Saddam who has nothing and we can pretty much claim a win in a week over while we let Iran, N. Korea and OBL build their forces and get prepared so that when we have to confront them.... we get our asses handed back to us.
