I don't usually post in politics, but this kind of hit close to home.
Hubby served in Iraq; he was among some of the first troops to invade. He was confident in his commander in chief, proud of his mission, and although not happy to be in Iraq, knew it was his duty after signing on.
After the WMD debacle, seeing some of his friends get maimed/die for a no longer clear reason, and being lied to about the length of time spent over there, he (and I) no longer support the war. I never really supported it to begin with, but was supportive of the troops, as a military wife is prone to be. He is angry about the lives of his friends that he feels were taken in vain, and for having put himself in jeopardy for what he feels is political gain. I have a brother in law and good friend over there right now; I would be bitter indeed if something should happen to them.
Again, just my opinion.
