I’m not a really political person, but I’m a little irritated and need to vent, so if you are offended easily by others opinions this post is not for you.

I feel that if you haven’t been to Iraq/Afghanistan, or don’t have a close family member who has been or is currently there then you do not get to have an opinion about the war. Don’t get me wrong I understand that this is America, and everyone has the right to have an opinion, I just don’t think you should have the right to share it.
Â
I am sick and tired of hearing people spouting off opinions about what we should do in Iraq, and thinking they are an expert just because they heard some politician running there mouth on CNN. Politicians know the very least about what is truly going on in Iraq. If you want to know the truth ask a soldier.

My husbands youngest brother has been living in the middle east and fighting for our country for the better part of 5 years. It is an insult to him and all the other brave men and women that are fighting to say that we are waisting our time there. Any way you want to spin it you can’t say that you support our troops, and say that you don’t support the war at the same time.
Â
I don’t think that we should be in Iraq forever, and I would love to see our troops come home, but not until the job is done, and our troops feel that they have been successful. I (unlike other loud mouths) will admit that I don’t have all the answers, no one does.

This has always been “The land of the free, and home of the BRAVE” now is not the time to put our tail between our legs, and run. We as a nation have been to war with other countries, and continue to have a military presence in those countries and I don’t see activists out in the streets complaining about “occupying” those countries. We are not an occupying country we are a liberating country. Think of what would happen to all the innocent people in Iraq if they were left alone to defend themselves against those who are standing in line to truly occupy the country. It is morally wrong to tear apart a country through war and walk away without a stable government in place. Imagine what would have happened in Germany if we walked away and let them figure it out for themselves, we would still be dealing with the next tyrant who wanted to take advantage of a desperate people.

Okay I’m done talking about this and will now get off my soap box.
