Ya can debate till you are blue in the face the motivations and rationales. Ya can debate the improvements or lack there of in Iraq and the subsequent emboldenment of the Iranians. 
Ya can debate torture and water boarding....use of dp uranium...nation building. The intelligence that talked about WMDs and the subsequent revelation it was shitty....ya can debate it was about oil and regional domination to ensure western commercial and resource acquisition. Ya can debate Saddam was or was not a maniac and threat to regional security and as a by product national-international security. Debate the multitude of pros and con's. Till hell serves chocolate vanilla swirl ice cream.

Me? I don't give a happy rats ass what ya debate about. Do it on another thread.

For me and this thread....I salute the Troopers and Marines and Airmen and Sailors; American and Coalition who went into harms way.

No war or planning for war is ever perfect...no execution or conduct....intentions or motivations.

But I'll honor the service and the cost as long as I'm convinced it was for a just cause. And those involved attempted and indeed proved their honor.

They....... then get the nod.
