Not only did America invade a nation that couldn't attack us, not only have almost 4,000 soldiers died, not only are almost 30,000 soldiers permanently maimed, not only have we spent over $2 trillion on Iraq and Afghanistan - now, soldiers are committing suicide at an alarming rate, as you can read in this article. Almost five soldiers every day try to kill themselves.
What did we get out of this war again? Peace? No. Prosperity? No. Less Americans hurt and killed? No. Better standing in the world? No. What did we get out of this war again?

Things are not too bad (sarcastic). First, we have thousands of Americans from jerk water USA who would have never had the chance to leave their state traveling to other countries like Iraq and Afganistan, and Amsterdam on their way. Hopefully they will learn something that they otherwise would have not.
Second, we get to look after all them returning soldiers with metal issues. In a way we have to create jobs and both the medical and prison industries are "good" investment.
Third. Okay, I am stretching it.
Should we vote for Ron Paul and bring the troops back home and stop wasting tax dollars in other countries? :)
