Remember 19 of the wackos who got us into this whole mess were Saudis, not Iraqis. The troops are fighting to keep us dependent on these undemocratic regimes in the Middle East.

While you are entitled to your view and it is the standard Dem vs Rep words that you type, the one part of your post that I object to strongly is...
last real war that our troops fought for our freedoms was WWII.[
On behalf of those friends and family members that shed their blood and lost their lives in Korea, Vietnam and many other skirmishes over the years I resent your sentiments.
While YOU...POLITICALLY....do not think they died and suffered for our freedom I violently disagree with you. You may have a different political view but I think that troops who represent us
wherever our leaders send them are fighting for our freedom and perhaps those who feel as you do should have a Scrooge type dream and let you see what happens if they are not throughout the world EVERY DAY, EVERY HOUR....and no matter what you say...they are
DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM.
