but you and the rest of those cruelly used and lied to Iraq veterans will never get a parade for what is perhaps the most shameful unnecessary war ever. Hoew grotesque would it be to celebrate the end of the Iraq engagement, which had NOTHING to do with 9/11 and was sold to the public on the lie that Saddam had WMDs. It's hard on the troops, but we cannot celebrate a war crime.

It's not your fault--you did your best and followed orders. The lying leaders who sent you must be punished, and denying THEM their parade is just a small part of what they deserve for misusing and shamefully exploiting our loyal troops.
