I have a difficult time supporting the war in Iraq. I support the troops, just not the issues, not the President. I'm sure I'm basing my reaction to this on my own personal experience- something I normally struggle not to do. I try to be logical and not mix my own emotions into the thought process. I'm afraid I can't do that in this issue. I've seen first hand what war does to a soldier. For 5 of the 9 years I was married my (now ex) husband was a Marine. He served in Operation Desert Storm. I don't think he was ever the same afterward. Not mentally anyhow. I don't see how a person could see the things that he saw and not be changed. I'm sorry to say that it wasn't for the better. And God knows what he was exposed to in the burning oil fields, and potential chemical warfare. That time isn't something I think about often anymore... I think that's for the best. As Forrest Gump liked to say..."That's all I have to say about that."
