Never forget what you're fighting for

When did I ever question a veteran's agenda or ethics? I didn't. I never judged a soldiers morals or their decisions. You're making one too many illogical leaps now dude. Don't make me into a strawman.

I literally only criticized the war and defended others right to criticize a war. People die in every war that is not a reason to avoid criticizing it. I don't actually believe oil was the main reason we invaded, I think it was a slew of reasons that were mainly due to us rushing to action after 9/11.

And I'm not trying to act as an authority so I will reiterate. I said the oil was the SUPPOSED reason, and it's a pretty widely accepted fact they didn't have nuclear weapons. Whether our government actually thought it did at the time is a different story.

I've been pretty involved in this particular subject for a long time. I remember when we were being pushed the narrative they did 9/11(which they didn't), they had WMDs(which we found 0 evidence of) and we were instilling "democracy" and saving Iraqi civilians lives and as I'm sure you know we got a lot of civilians killed.

Every reason that was stated or talked about at the time by the administration has been proven to be wrong or extremely in doubt.
