Iraqi War

I have always been so confused about the Iraqi War. I could never take a side (whether to support it or not) because I saw benefits and downfalls in the war for both Americans and Iraqis. After entering this course and reading from the milblog and the letter the soldier wrote to his mother (from the patriot readings) I am still not able to choose a side, but it has really opened my eyes to the feelings of the soldiers. I was really touched when reading these posts and the letter because for the first time I really began to understand how proud the soldiers are to be serving their country, and that are doing what they feel is right. I am so proud of our soldiers and I have the utmost respect and admiration for them.
