They didn’t fight for nothing. Obama, however, made sure to undo what they fought for. Put the blame where it lies.
With the boys all over there for many of the “historical moments”, I will never forget their joy when one of the first “free” elections was held, and Iraqis were beaming, holding up their purple-dyed fingers to indicate that they had voted.
Many pictures and memories for them of bonding with the locals, helping the schools and other community services, giving those people their first taste of life in some type of democracy, and much hope for the future.
You can’t blame Obama on this one.
Bush did a terrible job as Commander in Chief.
- Why send American troops to Iraq? (a fruitless mission)
- Why send ‘insufficient’ troops to Iraq? (no control)
- Why send troops with terrible ROEs (can’t shoot)
- Why send troops to be the foreign “cops” in town?
They sure did fight for nothing. And so did I. 395 days and 150 hours of combat flight time. Worst year plus of my life. Bush takes most of the blame for sending us there. Where you there? And I mean really there not a protected false combat patch fobbit...
