Sorry Iraq (II) Vets

While the courage, integrity, and love of country of our military personnel should never be questioned, I am getting really, really tired of the moronic, brain-dead, imbecilic, doomed-to-failure, STUPID missions the lowlife and lower intelligence political party members in Washington keep sending them on! 

Apparently, there is a growing group of veterans seeing the mess in Iraq as a sign that their service was in vain.  Well...I hate to say this, but it was, and the more intelligent individuals (obviously outside of Washington DC) who had a sense of world history and the underlying forces at work  realized it from the beginning.

You are joining the long line of Korea, Vietnam, Iraq (1), Afghanistan (1), Iraq(2), and Afghanistan (2) veterans in recognizing the painful fact that your politician-leaders let you down by putting you into an impossible situation with impossible odds and circumstances and in some cases inadequate equipment and training.

Still - thank you for your service, and should the US ever need true defense from true enemies...I hope you or others like you are there!
