So what you're saying is that dead soldiers wasted their lives if your ego isn't pumped by "victory"?
Then why go to war, Gus, if it's not for victory?

Hate to break it to you, but those six thousand men and women, hundreds of soldiers from our allies, and over a million Iraqis and Afghans, have had
their lives "wasted" for the ego and pleasure of people like yourself who just want to get your war on.
Hate to break it to you, but some of these that are dead are friends of mine. I'd rather see something tangible accomplished than some PC feel-good
"bring the troops home because we need the money" excuse that a lot of people seem to spout off with any time the subject comes up.
PC feel good?
You assigned the PC motivation yourself, maybe a bid to justify your stance by casting a pet peeve of yours onto others? Marginalize to manage
I think you are the feel good guy here, I think that is clear-
If you believe the US is going to beable to westernize and modernize the IRAQI psych you are a very optimistic chap to say the least. From my lowly
position it all appears to be a sink hole with IDEALISTIC goals as the brochure.
People see many aspect wrong with this war, PC is a fine cover story if that offends you more than a debacle of historic proportions. There is no
clear objective to be met, everything rests in the mentality of a whole country, I am tired of playing the cop, teacher, moderator, mediator and
enabler of these nations. Half the lot of you cringe at a dime being thrown at another "entitled" American, but you could give half a crap if OUR
money goes to efforts in a foreign land? They don't share you flag, language or culture-
Are we paying to keep IRAQ stable, or are we paying to keep it in a manageable state chaos? As you see both require constant attention and
maintenance, by design???
OR buy design?
Gee?
