Iraq was wrong not for the leftist BS but for the same hubris that is the design of the bombing of Syria. It pains me to say that any soldier who is KIA or maimed in the Mideast is in vain. I went to Desert Storm as active Army and then PANG for “Iraqi Freedom” (I knew nobody who gave a rats ass for Iraqi freedom.We just wanted to not get killed on our convoy security operations). The feeling of the soldier is a considerable contrast between the two operations.
You won’t get an argument from me on that. I’m no late-comer to the game, either. I’ve been saying the Iraq invasion was a disaster since the very beginning.
