> Maimed in Iraq, then mistreated, neglected, and hidden in America

I’m a retired United States Air Force Chief that gave 26 years of service. I had three tours of duty in Vietnam and a tour during the first Gulf War. I have always supported our troops and those of other nations involved with this conflict. But, I will not support or have supported the need to go into Iraq. Our involvement was ill-prepared and illegal. There was no threat to us from Saddam. Our troops are dying for a cause that I can’t make sense of. It makes me sick and upset to see the lives of our troops and those of other nations wasted so that George Bush can justify his existence.
