I know hundreds of people who were deployed. The people in the shit are the last ones to ask about politics or the reasons they are deployed. It's the military - they do what their told and rarely see the larger picture.
We failed to finish the job properly in 1991 when we first went in. Our objective was to remove Iraq from Kuwait, when our goal should have been to remove the Iraqi government. You can debate the politics of the invasion, say the US government wanted to invaded Iraq again to remove it's government, and you can debate it was about WMD. But the truth was Iraq had been firing on our troops for the better part of ten years, and we needed to do something about it.
