242. Asume and read into what I said however you want

I voted for a dirt bag in the 2000 election and I paid for it. I was stupid and ignorant kid who grew up in a center-right household and I voted that way. I learned my lesson and I paid for it with my own life that was ruined by the war on Iraq (I'm a totally disabled veteran that was produced by that war). I'm not going to vote for another dirt bag again - even if those are the two choices I have. I'll vote democrat downstream, but it won't be Hillary I vote for if she is the presidential candidate.

The only way that I'll change my mind is if she can show me that she is genuinely sorry for the war that she was a part of. She has never had to deal with any of the consequences of the war that she voted for and supported. She never stuffed a body bag of a fellow soldier and she never had to stuff a body bag of someone she murdered in combat. She never has been riddled by the memories that haunt her of the war, she certainly has never lost everything she has in her life as a result of her participation in that war.

I was in Iraq from Feb 2004 through March 2005. I served as an Infantry Platoon Leader where I led 44 Soldiers through daily combat patrols in and around a sector just north of Baghdad, in Baqubah, Iraq. I was a dumb 24 year old kid at the time who should have never been in charge in the situations that I was presented with. In the course of the year that I was in Iraq my platoon killed at least 46 people that we found the bodies of, wounded about 100, and we lost 5 of our platoon's members. It's one thing to read accounts of and hear the numbers regarding combat action but it is another thing altogether to actually experience it. You don't forget or unsee those things.

The war was much more intense and much more violent than anyone back home is aware of. I wil not have anything to do with supporting someone who voted for that war and then took more than a decade to realize it was a mistake.
