Greg he was a Republican and for your information not all Republicans agree with the war or the policies that took place with Iraq. Accusing him of being a liberal shows how blind some of you people are. Now some Marines did go on trial for murder but all in all the military does what they are ordered to do and what they are trained to do and for that I don't agree with the former Republican. This however is the perfect example I am talking about, the people vote for these politiicans and when party members are willing to standup with the other party members for the good of the voters then that shows class. As for the war there are some bitter family members, and of course they will not go public as they raise their children without the other parent. Most know it was their call to duty, even when they were sent to two or three tours of duty! There are those parents who lost loves to the war that were very outspoken, and angry as they tried to tell loves ones in a positive manner that you lost your dad. I saw one Military widows comments on Craigs list, and I couldn't believe Craigs list allowed the language she used, after she got done buring her husband. I did however agree with her anger, and how there are those who have no clue what was going on in Iraq while they justified our presence. What happened to Bin Laden was the comment, and what in the hell were we doing in that God forsaken country? Right on was my thoughts. There was questions and anger from both parties, of course unless your part of the far right, then you justify anything the former president did! Oh that is right, we are fighting for freedom, my bad! Give me a break!
