Came across this Letter to the Editor in Stars and Stripes today. Probably as good a summary about Iraq that I can find, and far better than what has been with the talking heads ( or some blogs…) lately:
Personally, I hate this country. I hated it the first time I was here. I will despise it and most of its ungrateful people until the day I die. Regardless of the reason we are here — weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein’s alleged ties to al-Qaida, or whatever — the BLUF is that we are here and have a job to do.
From a Staff Sergeant serving there…….
