That's an unnecessary and completely bullshit way of trying to show some moral equivalence while disparaging the intelligence and education of our military officers and enlisted men.
It doesn't matter a tinkers damn if you fight behind a desk or a rifle you still stood the same chance of being a bullet sponge on your first day in boots. I think you owe someone an apology.
If you're still naive enough to believe anything any politician says for any reason including war then you're an idiot... sorry. If you think yours or my opinion or all of ours matters 1 damned bit about foreign policy, you're unbelievably out of touch with reality.
You clearly never lived in Iraq. I know a good 50 people that used to live in Iraq when Saddam was running things. They all say that it doesn't matter what he was or wasn't doing or what weapons he had... they were living a Stalins-purges nightmare every single day and that was enough for me to justify 4000 brothers and sisters lost. I suppose you forgot about Saddam GASSING 10's of thousands of Kurds? Men, women, children ... murdered in cold blood while they were going about their day because Saddam thought there were too uppity.
Imagine what would happen if we gassed New Orleans cuz of all them (forgive me for the following statement...it's meant to establish a point) uppity coloreds making it hard to establish the rule of law.
First they gassed the kurds and I was not kurdish so I did not object. Then they came for the Shiia and I did not object becuase I was not a Shiia. Then they came for me and noone was there to object for me.
Sound familiar...
