I'm a veteran and have son in the Army over in Iraq. My wife and I worry day and night the dangers that he faces. The thing that upsets me, is, are we fighting this war for nothing. That region has never been stable. If you look at the history they will always go back to a dictator. It takes a dictator to keep those crazy sects behave. When the soldiers leave, I fear it will be as if no change ever happen. The Iraqi soldiers can't even be trusted. They don't even step up. The other thing that upsets me, is, our government can send billions to Iraq, but are hesitant about mass producing those new vehicles that are road side bomb proof. The humvees are a pathetic joke and death trap. I pray my son comes home safe, and he needs to know like all soldiers that we support them, regardless. You just don't know what a uneasy feeling you get when you see a government car drive by your house, hoping they don't stop in front of your house with bad news.
