54. I feel like our troops have been used in an extraordinarily, shameful way.
I personally know young men and women who had signed up for the military after 9/11 because they felt they wanted to go to Afghanistan and find and kill Osama Bin Laden, who attacked us. Some troops of course did go to Afghanistan but just as many were manipulated into thinking there was a connection between what happened in our country on 9/11 and Sadam Hussein, and were sent to Iraq instead. We all know how that's going. The troops were lied to, and are still being lied to about the purpose of their mission there. They will come back broken physically, mentally, and spiritually, if they are lucky enough to come back at all, and they will be haunted forever by the things this criminal President has asked them to do in our name. It is heartbreaking to see how the troops have been used and abused by this administration. I want them home now. This war is a disgrace, and these poor guys have been asked to something they never should have been asked to do. When the truth finally comes out about this war, and I believe it will, there will be hell to pay. Instant Karma mr.*.

Hate the war, not the warrior. They were lied to just as we all were.
