With comments like yours, it’s hard to tell if I’m on FR or DailyKos these days.

I don't know Lod881019 from Adam, but perhaps you can explain to me what we gained in Iraq and Afghanistan by spending the monies we did at the human cost of 7,245 dead and 52,242 wounded of American young people? Do we need to be leftists to not want our children killed for frivilous foreign adventures?

I'm asking this as a former line officer who served in the Persian Gulf, so my perspective might be skewed a bit. Perhaps I can be enlightened...

Would another 20 years over there have really mattered? I’m for our soldiers going over there and doing a job then getting home we are very bad at nation building see Afghanistan

I agree with you.
