The Media shows respectable war footage. If you want to see what really happens go to ogrish.com and look under terrorism. I work with the military and see the REAL side of what is happening. Of course I cannot say anything because I have a clearance. But, the media is hiding the real war because it is NASTY. Road side bombs, Americans shot in the head, decapitated Iraqi police and national defense members. This is the nastiest of wars in many, many years because the terrorists are NOT afraid to die. Americans and the coalition don't want to die. I have friends who have been there twice in the second war and WANT to go back. I think that things are settling down in the region and we just need to keep our game face on and let baby Bush run the show. There are reasons to be there. You all think it was about WMD's? ah, no. We don't want 9-11 again or anything even similar on OUR soil. I stand proud for my country, mourn the "volunteers" who went to Iraq and support our democracy and protect what is ours. We have terrible problems in our own country with gangs, murderers, and child rapest's but that is one tenth of what could happen if terrorists start popping dirty bombs or doing suicide bombs in the USA.
Can you imagine not feeling safe to go to Red Lobster because some terrorist could come in and blow nails through your head. Be glad you don't have to carry an AK around town just to go get dinner. America rules. Let the muslems be muslems, but the insurgants are demons. Insurgants have attacked women and children with acid and scarred them for life for nothing. Saadam's Army killed thousands of non-believers. There are reasons for Iraq. Iran is next. Thank god Pakistan is on our side and is still looking for Osama.
I cannot flame anyone for their comments in this post. That is what I wanted, a poll. If someone wants to make a parking lot out of Iran and Iraq, he/she definatly would not make a good soldier and does not understand human life. I know many old men from WWII that hate "Japs". But do they bother us? No. Does Germany bother us? No. Maybe in due time SWA will feel the same way and become a democratic state. But it will take years, maybe decades. Rejoice freedom!
