With a brother who fought in the middle east, albeit Iraq, I am so angry.

His armored vehicle was hit by an IED, fortunately with no casualties, but I think of all those that did fight to keep it stable and how we are shitting all over them. Talk about feeling like you, what you do/did, and what you believe in is totally worthless.
I understand that we don't want to be in an endless war, but is it really a war when there has been a total of 0 American soldiers dying there in 18 months? Was it really that horrible that we had to get out immediately and leave everyone and everything behind? THIS was the only and beat way to get out?!?!
I feel so bad for those that served.... Not to mention those we left behind.
