50,000,000 people freed from a dictator and a repressive Taliban mini-caliphate.  PS we are not just in Iraq and Afghanistan just to let you know.  Ask any soldier if they would rather stay here when they return or go back and finish the job and they will not hesitate to say that they need to finish the job.  I can't help how Obama's extreme "end the wars now, man" flank is pushing policy but he said in 2007 and continues to that "Af. is a war of necessity."  (Although I do love a Dem civil war  )

 

By the way, I talked to the LTC here about ROTC and I probably wouldn't qualify for medical reasons otherwise I would jump at serving unlike these pansy hippy college kids.

Yeah, I never so much as alluded to Afghanistan. Also, do not patronize me. I am aware of where US personnel are present. I did not say we should not finish the job. I said we should have never initiated the military operation to begin with. Deposing Saddam for the benefit of the Iraqis does not justify spending $650 billion (and counting), 4,200 US casualties (and counting), and 30,000 US wounded (and counting). It was an unnecessary, unjustifiable war. I hate rehashing this topic, but I could not allow the response to Numonex's post go unanswered-not that I endorse Numonex's blather.

Well for the bolded I was not referring so much to you but more of the Bay/NYC anarchist/socialist hippies who actually root for the Taliban.
