My son stood 96 hour watches atop that the government building. The 2/5 Marines were among several detachments that fought in Ramadi. The 2/5 lost a number of brave, dedicated Marines fighting for and holding the city. My son is angry at Obama because he has denigrated the honor of those who who sacrificed their lives, and he has ignored the duty of those who survived, by his withdrawals. I think my son has the right to feel that way.
The Iraq expedition was lost before the First Marine Division crossed the start line.
There was never a plan to conquer Iraq and govern it.
The Bush fantasy plan was based on imaginary concepts about imaginary people, instead of real strategy for dealing with actually existing Muslims in Basra and Mesopotamia.
I don't blame your son for being angry - but his commanders, especially his generals, never gave him a prayer of winning the peace.
