First off, I am glad to report that IwoCPO is back in the homeland.
Now go read his editorial…
but I was distracted. For instance on the 4th of July I stood on a balcony in one of Saddam’s former palaces and watched nearly six hundred servicemembers re-enlist, the largest mass re-up in history. While their countrymen on the left and right (a great majority of whom have never set foot in Iraq) continue to sling arrows at one another over whether our presence there is just, the warriors who actually live and fight there made the biggest statement of all. Given a choice between going home or staying there to finish a job they believe in, they raised their right hands again.

I am not an overly religous person, but god bless them.
And the results bcrt, are heavily influenced by state sponsorship from Iran and Syria, and a religous pipeline of men, money and manpower from the middle east, europe and north Africa. Of course, none of this warrants anywhere near the amount of criticism for American mistakes, real or perceived, according to some.
I just hope they return safe.

Meh.
#1 Reupping doesn’t necessarily mean they believe in the war. Some people just might not know anything else, they might need the money. Some people want to be loyal to their country, or make their family proud. And yes, there are those who truly believe it too.
#2 This is a democracy, if people believe the US shouldn’t be in Iraq, then thats what should happen. And look at the results, they ain’t pretty.
