Al-Qaeda-linked forces have just captured Fallujah in Iraq. The United States fought some of its bloodiest battles in order to win Fallujah over the past decade only to turn around and be commanded to abandon it for political purposes. How would you feel if your own child gave his life in order to protect a bridge only to have your own government turn around and detonate this bridge themselves? This is what is happening in Iraq right now and it disrespects everyone who fights for us overseas. Our military deserves much better than the country we have become.
