Yes, I wanted.. and still want to fight. Unfortunately because of my back injury it's never going to happen with anything short of war with China. Why? it has nothing to do with who is president, it has nothing to do with who is in congress. It has everything to do with a need our country currently has for people who will answer the call. Our military is not over-stretched, but it hurting.
I'm not going to explain it to you, as I've explained it countless times in my tenure here on the TFP. My support of the war from the onset was not based around WMD's or the claim they were tied to 9/11. I consider myself a utilitarian, and I believe that success in this war and the opportunity it grants the region will grossly outweigh the cost. You say it's too much for a reasonable man to overlook, I believe that it's too much for a reasonable man to allow anti-human rights, anti-woman's rights, militaristic theocratic forces to win in this war.
