I was there when not just a few, but many civilians praised us for rescuing them. And then America pulled out and left a vacuum that is now a mess in the middle East. I know this isn't relevant to the thread, but don't make comments that you are ignorant of. And don't disrespect those that sacrificed to serve. I don't care about your opinion of Bush, even though you don't seem to have a problem with Clinton and Bosnia, or Clinton and his morals or ethics. Sorry, I digressed again.

Thank you for your service.
My son's best friend just passed, the details are classified but it was not natural, he was a commander in the Seals in counterintelligence probably in some desert hellhole defending America. This is not over because of Obama's stupid withdrawal, it is just worse. This victim was kind enough, as a favor to my son (also can't say what he does but he is civilian), to fly an American flag over a forward secret base in northern Iraq on 9/11/11 so I could received it, with a certificate from the command of operation Iraqi Freedom, as a Christmas present. This is the character of our men and women in uniform. What a total waste, he leaves behind a young wife and 3 young kids. So to all those that so vehemently despise Bush and "his war", DO NOT conflate the politics of a war with the honor, integrity, valor and sacrifice of those that serve
