Do I feel bad for them? Hell yeah... getting conned into a military invasion off of false promises and pretenses... Every "normal" person I know that went in was saying how they were promised to not be anywhere near the real danger just for a couple of them to get hurt anyway... Friend of mine even DIED over there... and for what?

Idiot.
I was one those who had no other real option at the time. At age I was drug addict, strung out, stealing loose change from my minimum wage job at a dry cleaners to get by. By chance I ran into a Marine Corps recruiter I know, and forty-eight hours later I was at Paris Island knowing that my father - and his father before him - had both died in combat as US Marines.
Every day of my life I am thankful that I joined. It gave the morals and values I have today, made me who I am, and I now know that I can do anything I set my mind to.
I never saw combat, so you don't owe me jack shit. But your welcome anyhow.
