A typical "can't win the argument with anything recent so let's bring in the World Wars"

B i'm not dissing your troops, i'm arguing for their health and safety, Iraq is nothing like WW1 or WW2, Iraq was never a threat to the US let alone to the world like Nazi Germany or Japan was.

C i'm not from a country best known for whores & drugs

D i have talked to folks who were there

E which country has my country ever defended? i'll tell you:

France in WW1
we held the line long enough for the Schliefen plan to fail in WW1
look it up

UK in WW2
we held up the Blitzkrieg invasion long enough for the evacuation at Dunkirk, didn't manage to stop it from overwhelming France, but my country did what it could, it was probably the best prepared of the lot even though it was terribly outnumbered and out witted. if the forces at Dunkirk would have been caught, the Germans could have had a different Battle of Britain

Belgians are defending Kabul airport as we speak, and are defending in the Balkans, and are cleaning up cluster bombs and mines in Lebanon

these days, we prefer to cleanup bombs then dropping them
2 world wars in our backyard is plenty to become war weary and realize the futility of it all
