Withdraw under an agreement signed by George Bush mind you.
 
So whose son, husband, father, brother are you willing to sacrifice in Iraq?  Names please.
You'll find my grandfather in a National Cemetery in Georgia who served in the Navy in WWII. A man I never met who was willing to make a sacrifice for his country.

You'll find a number of names here:

That is not what 777 asked. Are you saying the Iraq war is equivalent to Iraq as far as purpose is concerned?

Say what?
 
 
President Obama surprised a few people during a news conference Thursday by claiming that the 2011 decision to withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq, a politically popular move on the eve of an election year, was made entirely by his Iraqi counterpart. The implication ran counter to a number of claims that Obama has made in the past, most notably during a tight campaign season two years ago, when he suggested that it was his decision to leave Iraq and end an unpopular war.
 
 
On Thursday, Obama addressed reporters in the White House Briefing Room about Iraq’s latest crisis. “Do you wish you had left a residual force in Iraq? Any regrets about that decision in 2011?” a reporter asked. “Well, keep in mind that wasn’t a decision made by me,” Obama said. “That was a decision made by the Iraqi government.”

 So who was it? Obama, Bush or Malakai?

I'm not talking about WWII.  I'm talking about what's going on in Iraq right now.  So once again, whose son, father, husband, brother are you willing to sacrifice in that sectarian bloodbath?

And if he had left a residual force in Iraq people would be asking about US soldiers getting blown up.

You have my answer, too bad if it's not the one you wanted to hear.

BTW, it's a volunteer force, therefore, the person joining the military knows there may be a war and the risks.

That wasn't an answer, that was a cop out.
 
The old "It's a volunteer force so if they get killed it's their own damn fault" argument.  Nice.  
 
P.S. Why don't you volunteer?

After 911, I tried to volunteer but they didn't need 48 YR Old retreads.
Had I stayed in the Reserves, it would have been a different story.

Marine PLC....I'm in my mid 50's a little old for volunteering again.

Beats being a wuss.
 
Personally, I think every person in the USA should be obligated to military service.
Possibly as a path to citizenship as well.
Might be good for kids to get out of their comfort zone and see something new and different.
Just my 2 cents...
