Incidentally, they also died so that you and I could live to a

BEING an Iraq War Veteran, it doesn't annoy me at all.
Nor does it annoy any of the veterans I know, even the ones who do
still believe we are accomplishing something in Iraq.
War is bad, but unfortunately sometimes necessary.
But it does not honor the soldier to send him or her to war on false
pretense.
Particularly a war for PROFIT espoused by those who never have, nor
ever will, sacrifice anything themselves in pursuit of that war.
As I would have said were I so eloquent.
