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.

Im with you, if you havent been there you can not fathom how badly these people need us. The people that we are fighting represent death they will not stop attacking there own people even if we pulled out tomarrow. We need to see this through and stand behind the men and women that are brave enough to represent our country and ensure our saftey with there lives. Thank you to all of the men and women of the armed forces that obey there lawfull orders and remain honerable to there oath. I spent 13 monthes deployed with the 1/72 SBCT so I have been there and the media is washing you with negative. We have built countless schools, post offices, police offices, fire departments, electricity infustructure, sewage proccesing plants, fresh water refineries, now you tell me that we are not doing any good.
