(10,559 posts)So I am confident I know what is going on at a level I really would prefer not to know.
Yes, I marched against the war in Iraq; I am also friends with a family of Iraqi refugees. (The husband is/was a civil engineer who worked with the US Army; when we pulled out, they received a few hours of warning he was going to be killed, and they fled. He can't get a job in his field here because the only jobs are with the Army, and since he can't become a citizen for seven years - sigh. Good people; his wife is an amazing cook.)
No, I will not sign up; I support the military with my tax dollars, and taking out evil tyrants is one of the things I am good with them doing.
Please note that I do not support us staying in the region. I support the perpetrators being dragged to the Hague.
