Get 'er done!

Yeah I know, it's unpatriotic to question the war and just because I dare to ask any questions about it at all must mean that I hate our troops. Alright, whatever, Nazi.

I heard today on the radio and I have heard it said before that the troops are over there fighting for our freedom. Freedom from what? I'm sorry, I'm a little confused. Was there an army on it's way over here to enslave us all? One of the things mentioned on the talk show was that we were fighting over there so that we wouldn't have to wear burkas over here. Hunh??? Why would we be wearing burkas now if we didn't invade Iraq? I'm not trying to be a wise guy here but c'mon listen to yourselves! Shit don't even make sense...all the little bullshit that y'all come up with to justify the war is ridiculous. Hey, I'm not saying we shouldn't be over there but please give me a more realistic reason than that! I'm a grown man and can handle it.

Also, I keep hearing about that we need to win the war. We can't just "cut and run". But what the fuck does winning entail? We haven't even agreed on a reason for the war in the first place! How the hell are we supposed to know when we've won if we don't even have a goal??? Okay, we were told that we had to invade Iraq because of WMD's...okay, we went, we invaded, discovered that there were no WMD's, soooo didn't we win? Reason for war=WMD's, no WMD's=goal met...we won! Okay, Okay, then we decided, hey we can't just leave without getting Saddam...so we got Saddam...goal met...we won! Right? No? Okay, we can't just leave the Iraqis without a government! So let's help them rebuild one and let's make sure it's democratic...Iraqis voted, goal met, we're done, let's bounce! Hooooold up...not so fast, cowboy. We still got some more work to do. We have to rid the country of "insurgents"...you know, the guys who aren't even from Iraq but who followed us there like fleas on a dog? Anyways, the insurgency is all but squashed, the surge took care of that! Can we leave now? Nope not yet! We still haven't won! We still have to stop terrorism...sheesh! That's going to take forever! Shit, we can't even catch Osama and we are on his fucking mailing list!



Don't get me wrong...I hope we do win this war whatever that means. We can't just cut and run but we can't just keep going on forever like this either. We need to figure out what winning means and just fucking do it! I am thankful that I do not have any family over there but I have plenty of friends that I want to be able to come back home safe and sound. Let's win this.
