Some of them may not even agree with the wars, they are just serving in the way that was asked of them. I also do not agree with reparations for the 1st iraq war-- that one was clearly avoidable and was started by them. I wish you would point out the real culprit of these wars, the American public and press, maybe even some of you guys. I believe our politicians reacted to public sentiment at the time, and took advantage of the 9/11 situation. Most of the people that I talked to in the weeks after 9/11 and after the war started seemed to want the war, which was repulsive to me at the time given my knowledge of world affairs. My conscience is clear because I protested the war BEFORE it started via E-mails to my politicians.
