You can do it here on the internets. Could you do it to their faces after they've returned from 6 months in Iraq?

I actually have meet many on my flights around the country including Canada, I know many that have done a few tours as well as a few flyboys. Yet to meet one that wouldn't agree. They say it sucks to be there and all were scared shytless at times. Many had to kill and some saw buddies blown up or wounded.
But when I asked if it was the right thing to be doing, they all agreed (even the Canadians fighing in the gan as well as a few that saw conflict in iraqous).
War may suck but ambivalence sucks more. Lets not forget - they broke the law (international law) for many years. The UN didn't stand up and other nations were to weak or scared to do anything.
