I supported this war from day one...I think it was something the free world needed to do- it just saddens me that so much of that free world turned away from their obligations... I still believe that if all the countries of the free world had moved against Iraq we wouldn't have the amount of involvement as is now coming out of Syria and Iran....
I still support the war- but I'm starting to get hinky feelings about it....Its starting to appear to be micromanaged by whatever the press, the civilians, the peacemongers, the foreign governments, etc. are saying-- We're seeing solders being charged with crimes for events that happen during war- more and more shoot/don't shoot, can't engage until engaged orders - more we can bomb this area, but not go near that area rules... Just the same as we saw in Vietnam/Laos/Thailand....
War ain't pretty- folks dying ain't pretty...And civilians or unintentional/accidentally identified targets will be injured and killed-- and we shouldn't be making our troops have to make sure the person (man or woman or child) is packing his terrorist union card before he can shoot him....Kids packed bombs in Vietnam-kids killed troops in Nam and I'm sure they're doing the same here with these nutcases...The only press allowed in should be those living with the troops and getting shot at and blown up- definitely would give them a new outlook on what they want to report....
Either we actually fight a war- and take out whatever target presents itself--be they mosques storing weapons , or be they training camps or arms supplys in Syria or Iran or wherever-- or we get out- you can't start pussyfooting around and actually fight a war.....
