Reply #25: I agree, my brother is in Iraq

He joined the Navy via ROTC scholarship back in 1984. He knew what he was getting into and he never bitches or whines when he has been deployed. He retired in the mid 90's but was recalled to active duty this year. Still he goes there knowing he may be killed, he has a responsibility to the young sailors he leads. If he wasn't there someone else would be.

Iraqi's have no say in whether or not we are there and the Iraqi civilian deaths break my heart.

Iraqi's need to step up and stop murdering their own people. Our military needs to be redeployed away from the civilian population, they are not policemen. The whole damn world needs to step up (minus us) and force the warring sides to sit the hell down and work this out in a non-violent way.

The whole thing is one great big clusterfuck that NEVER should have happened.

Our soldiers are doing their job, acting upon the orders of the civilian government. * and his administration are the ones who need to shoulder all the blame for this. Someday the world will demand justice be wrought upon them.
