This should make a point to the freepers who claim that no one in the military takes the view of getting out of Iraq.
One young man I know, did a hitch in the Marines and a tour in Iraq. He got out, but was unable to find a decent job to support his family. So he went back into the Marines. It is a lot like the 70’s when the draft was done by the numbers. Once the elite had to think that their children would be subject to the draft, the war got over rather quickly.
Put it on a personal level. Would you be willing to fight and perhaps die to support a democracy in Iraq. I wouldn’t as it doesn’t affect me personally enough. Would I be willing to die to protect my children, of course. The threat of the radical Islamic Jihadists is not that much of a danger to me or my children that I would want them fighting a war in a land half way around the world. Let the countries on the borders of radical Islam fight them, they have the most to lose.

In case you havent noticed...radical Islam is everywhere.
