Have they died for oil? Yup.
Have they died to set up borders on the other half of the world? Yup.
Have they died de-stabilizing other countries in a bid to install leadership that was friendly to the US? Yup.
Have they died for the ego of the politicians who sent them to war? Yup.
Have they died for imperialistic purposes? Yup.
Have they died going on a revenge tour against the wrong group of people? Yup.
The military is not about protecting *US*... it is about protecting the interests and the pet projects of the dipshits elected into office while denying service related disability.

We dont need politics in here.
Ask any vet why they fought and sacrificed. It wasn't for oil or politics.
Regardless of the reason for the war these brave men and women went into hell to protect us. They have earned our respect and gratitude.
