You mean the invasion of Iraq might have been under flase pretenses? It might have been a ghastly mistake? It might have cost our soldiers thier lives with no real purpose? Thank goodness you told me that, since I would have had no way of knowing that other wise.

There are two perspectives here. One is a top down perspective in which clearly President Bush and his advisors made terrible mistakes and commited gross deceptions in getting us into Iraq. Not only did they lie toget us in there, but they failed to plan what would happen once we got there.

The Second perspective is that of a soldier in a recruiting office, or an individual soldier. Whether or not he's used correctly (and just in case I haven't been clear enough, President Bush has largely not used our soldiers correctly), he is willing to put his life on the line to defend Americans.
