45. I didn't even watch or read anything on the 11th on purpose

I turn everything I reply to about me and the war on Iraq, but September 11th is one of those days that really pisses me off.

I'm as upset as anyone is over the attacks that day. However, what really infuriates me is how it was used by our leaders to fight wars that had nothing to do terrorism. The countless lives lost on both sides in Iraq are what really upset me. Our leaders took advantage of our feelings and used the tragedy of September 11th as a tool to get us to agree to a war in Iraq. I can't forgive anyone who ever supported that war for what they were a part of doing to the nation of Iraq.

I was there. I shot, killed, and stuffed my share of body bags over there. I saw the consequences first hand - unlike the people who allowed this war to happen. It must be nice for those people to be able move on with their lives. Start war and spread death and destruction and you don't even have to be sorry about it. I joined the army to make the world a better place (I was a completely naive kid) and I get to have blood all over my hands and I get to become totally disabled as a result of my service.
