      Ok I typed out a huge story and my phone refreshed the screen. Grrrr

      Anyway, background I was in Iraq twice and Afghanistan once between 2001 and 2010 serving logistics roles and driving a HMMWV in convoys. It was sort of like this but I was usually in the third or fourth element vehicle driving.

      I saw a lot, dodged a lot, came out of it all with a lot of life experiences and knowledge. Everyone on the ground knew GWB was a dumbass and the WMD shit was fake, but orders are orders. We did think there was going to be more information on the why later, but today we know he ordered the invasion to impress his father after the 1990 Iraq Invasion was stopped after the Highway of Death incident.
