you and your buddies get blown up by roadside bombs and have no enemy to stand and fight back against.
our troops get blown up by this straw man enemy called terror. how do you fight back against a enemy that is a word? terror.
can you even call it a war when there is no identifiable enemy?.

did you hear the iraq army does not want to fight far from their homes.
that should really cheer up our troops ha?

to the troops, i love ya man, and we will get you home soon.

This is worse than Vietnam....at least our soldiars knew who the enemy was....Some of our Vietnam Vets feel free to correct me if I am wrong...

We are obligated as a Nation to get them out of this hell hole..

3. First welcome to DU
Yes it hurts a hell of a lot when the people you know 24/7 die or get wounded. Iraq is a hell hole. A war that should of never been fought. Here we fight to get tem home now. Some of us are veterans helping them when they come home.Since Bush and Replugs will not. Here a link for VA stories
http://www.vawatchdog.org
Scrool down look at the lies and the fake budget put out by replugs
There is news about how men and women coming home are sick or PTSD Depleted Uranium.

Been in the place these kids are in and it is very ugly just like Nam
