Don't believe
media's version of war
I'm writing to the few people who have written letters to the editor and who don't understand that there is a difference between supporting our troops and supporting this war. They are not inclusive.
There are quite a few of us who have known from the beginning that the war was a lie. Amazing how some are just realizing that fact. The "lie" included freeing Iraqis only after everyone didn't buy into the supposed WMDs and non-existent al-Qaida link. Now, how many of them are actually free (except the dead ones)? More than 30,000 and counting.
I am a veteran and I know the sacrifice our troops are making. I also know when I am being lied to. I feel sorry for every soldier over there. They should not be there. I also know that the troops are doing everything they can to make it a positive tour and I support them.
The problem isn't the troops; it is the leadership. Tell me that torture is ok, like this government does, and I will call you a traitor to our code. As for anyone who supports this war, pick up a weapon and head for the Middle East because, if you haven't been there and don't go, you are nothing more than a coward and a hypocrite.
Nothing can change the fact that the region is heading for civil war. Bring our troops home. Beware of the right wing media that controls most of what you hear.
