Unless you went there prior to the US led invasion you have no room to talk about whether or not we should be there. Until you see the people of that country and how they suffered under the former regime, you can't say if we should have done it. I was there, boots on the ground through the initial assault. All you see is what has been blazen across your television. When you drive down the street seeing people coming out of their houses for the first time in their lives not being afraid of getting taken by the policefor no reason other than their religion, you will know why we are there.
Is that the reason they said we were invading Iraq? No. But does that mean that we should just stand by while people are being oppressed??
Once you have the testicular fortitude to stand beside us, then you can build your opinion about the presidents decision to send troops in. You dont know what really goes on from half a world away.
Sorry for the rant
Oh yeah, my opinion, Deserters/AWOL/anyone that refuses their service should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
