Every male relative of mine has served in the US Armed Forces (except my son-in-law and myself).
From WW I till the Viet Nam debacle.
Time to get out of Afghanistan and Iraq NOW, why sacrifice more American lives? Mission accomplished: bin Laden is dead and I believe what we are doing now is fruitless. Memorial Day 2012 will be more of the same except with a higher body count. Let the people in those nations settle their own differences.
Just my 2 cents.
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
I agree. I don't believe we should ever have gone either place, and I think the record bears it out that we've done nothing to really justify the massive loss of Iraqi, Afghani and American lives.
Now that Bin Laden is dead and everyone agrees there were never WMDs, we have no excuse to stay. We are only there for the purpose of having a foothold in the region. We have no moral standing.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
