In NO way is it that plain and simply. That's just what wartime wants you to believe.
It's not that cut and dry.
I know 4 guys that are there right now, including two of my nephews. (Another one of my friends sons is going back there next month.)
Do you think that I am against them???
No.
3 of the 4 DO NOT want to be there. They think the whole thing is a crock.
The other one (greg) is very proud to be there.
Do you think I'm against him?
No.
Greg simply believed and continues to believe all the hype and propaganda that got us there in the first place. First, that Iraq was an imminent threat to our and our families lives. He now believes that we've always been there to liberate the Iraqiis in the name of freedom and has forgotten about WMD's and Bin Laden.
It is with Bush and the rest of the Liars that I have a problem with.
It is also with many of the idiots that blindly support this crap without even TRYing to see why most of the world is against it. (many lurk here in the ppp board)
Not only that, but they sure love to through around the fact on what great Christians they are.
Listen... my own Grandfather was killed in WWII.
As a f'ing Nazi.
I was told that he was a good man who, unfortunatly believed everything that his authorities lied to him about ... signed up without questioning and got his ass killed in Russia.
Do I hate my grandfather?
No.
Do I hate the people that lied to him?
You betcha.
