May 2016

I too often get wrapped up and incensed about anything regarding that war. I will not let something like that happen to people like me again.

I joined the army as a stupid 17 year old kid in 1997. My parents had to sign a waiver to let me join before I was 18. I honestly wanted to make the world a better place and I ate up the propaganda that the U.S. Army was a force for good. In 1997 we were heavily involved in the Balkans and I believed that we had learned our lessons from our previous conflicts. instead I found myself in a war I never thought could happen or believed in. I was totally taken advantage by and betrayed by politicians like Hillary Clinton.

I won't let it happen again.

The idea that I have to vote for Hillary Clinton if I don't want something like Iraq to happen again is insulting and rediculous.
