Our troops

Before the war even began, I didn't think that going to Iraq was a very good idea. Granted, I wasn't very old, but I still knew that there wasn't any real, definite reason for going to Iraq that had to do solely with the United States. We were after Al Qaeida, which was in Afghanistan, not Iraq.

With that, I have never been fully supportive of the Iraq war, and after reading the posts, now I am sure that it wasn't a good idea to go to Iraq. Recently I also watch a war movie about troops in Somali, called Black Hawk Down, that helped put into perspective what war is like nowadays. It is so intense and so brutal and reading the posts from the soldiers, it makes my heart hurt. Reading the real stories brings home the feelings I experience while watching the movie and now I think they should be brought home.
