I'd like nothing more than to see all our people home, safe and able to DEFEND this country. We were never supposed to be the aggressor nation, but that is unfortunately what we have become.
Unlike some on here, I can differentiate between hating the war and hating the people fighting it. I DO hate this war - I find it pointless, ridiculous, a waste of resources and lives, born out of revenge and lies and deceit on the part of our own supposed "leaders". I have no hatred whatsoever for anyone who feels they're "doing the right thing" by participating as a member of our armed forces. I would disagree with their assessment (and yes, I'll tell them that to their face if asked), but I certainly don't hate them.
The generalizations made here are sad and pretty juvenile. I am neither "liberal" nor "pro-Hillary" or anything like it. I (like you) want what's best for this country. Continuing to throw money and bodies at a problem in Iraq isn't it. Feel free to disagree.

I concur, and I'd buy you the 2nd beer. THANK YOU for your service to OUR country Lil' Black Car... I sincerely meant that!
