Great read thanks for your service soldier . I hope you will be home slugging down some cold ones soon.

With all due respect for your ppredicament may I take the libety of a stab at this ? ..............
"[ As of this writing, the US government has not confirmed the fabled WMD that we expected to find.

So what was the point of this war? Why did we spend untold amounts of money, ruin countless marriages of US servicemen, and risk a potentially disastrous political gambit? ]"

Iraq is/was an out of control rats nest that had the potential to breed some pretty nasty consequences for the USA if left to fester unchecked.
This roach motel called Iraq could have brought us down, using some terror buds like Al Qaeda to make the delivery.
Just because no WMD's were found does not mean they were not there or that they could not surface again.
Iraq had months to hide /dispose of them.
The prosecution of war on Iraq was not so much a search for WMD's as an enforcement of the original treaty from Gulf War I.
Your service there is more meaningful than we will ever know thanks to you we wont have to find out.
see you when you get back, we all owe you big time for fighting over there.
