I have never thought that American soldiers don't care about Iraqis.

The only thing that angers me is that we, as a nation, invaded a foreign country with the best of intentions only to get caught there and ultimately humiliated. And many of the soldiers who fought in it are paying for it, physically or mentally.

Mind you, I'm not talking about the present. Think back 30 years, to Vietnam.

The Baby Boomers vehemently protested against it as they were were drafted then. Now they are in charge, and asking us to serve something a lot like what they protested against.

Apparently, all they learned is to not institute a draft.

THAT...is what angers me.
