that's great. i supported operation desert storm since there was actually a reason to be fighting iraq. This time however, a war was started with no just cause and no real reason other than the fact that the US didn't like how the country was being run.
That's not a reason. If that were a justifiable war the entire world would be at war with 30 odd countries at once.
I respect your military service, but the fact that you had a gun pointed at you doesn't make you any more of an authority on the subject as anyone else.
