Whether you are drafted or voluntarily enlist, every soldier deserves to know why he's fighting and what he may give up his life for, they and their families and the public and Congress need to know the purpose and objective of any war as well as the best estimate of the price that will be paid in lives and dollars to achieve the objective. The American people were lied to on Iraq. An enlisted man has to follow orders, but he damn well has a moral right to know why and what he's going to die for.

The saying goes 'if wars were fought by middle aged men we'd have far less wars' - the truth.

The good thing is as a species we are becoming more peaceful, less war on earth right now than in an period since major civilizations began.

I would have loved to believe that the US went into Iraq with the goal to dispose of and disarm a brutal dictator and replace him with the foundation of a democracy. Even if the US truly believed that was the case it's incredibly naive to believe you can do that anywhere in the Middle East, a snakepit of religious lunacy, greed, poverty and oppression thousands of years in the making.
