Hey I appreciate what your trying to get accross, but you know what the media tells you, and your dead wrong about Saddam, and Bin Laden.
Soldiers do there jobs, because they signed up to do so. Dont have pitty, they know the risk, and the reward of combat.
They might have died, for a BS cause as you would put it, but really that just sh.ts on thier graves.
They died doing the job laid out on hand. They died hero's and should be respected for having the courage, and sense of duty to do what was asked, even if they dissagreed.
Bin Landen hasnt been caught, because the US is using him.
Im about to tell you some classified sh.t.
My brother when in the special forces, was stationed in Bragg, that's all you need to know.
Let's just say we could have had em, any time we wanted. I know from a personal saying.
wink wink.
Iraq is now a country which is buying the American goods, and is a forward base of operations into the gulf region.
Alot more political BS, than what you believe is involved.
Alot more good will come from this than bad, and just because you only see it from a american stand point, there are THOUSANDS, of people who now have the ability to not live in fear of there religion, and ability to have some basic human rights not givin by Saddam.
Bin Laden is just a tool, used by the government period.
Believe what you want however. No one will really ever know unless your in the position to know, so ?
