Yeah, I agree with everyone here saying that it is unfair to harangue someone just because they are a member of the military and can only follow orders. Now I hate war, I hate it with a passion. However, the best attitude that describes my opinion about war comes from Black Hawk Down "When I go home, people ask me, 'Hey Hoot, why do you do it man, why?' I won't say a goddamn word. Why? They won't understand. They won't understand why we do it. They won't understand it's about the men next to you...and that's it. That's all it is." As I have said in previous posts, do I think it was the right decision to go to war against Iraq? Yes, I wholeheartedly believe that we can only do good there. Do I question the means by which we got there? Again, the answer is yes. I want an investigation into the intelligence offered on the basis to go to war, however, it should be done after the 2004 election to prevent a partisan squabbling over what really went on. To me, pulling out, is not an option at this point, we're too far in, to quit now would send too much of the same message to Osama bin Laden that invited the 9/11 attacks. I also wish that the international community would get off of its high horse and help us out here. Hopefully we can enlist the aid of Turkey especially since Al Qaeda fucked up by incurring their attention and wrath.
