Every serviceman that died throughout the ENTIRE Iraq and Afghan war had NOTHING to do with protecting anyone's freedoms in the United States. The entire war was based off a -blam!-ing intentional LIE! The United States is the reason why Iraq became shit before we even decided to invade...and make it more shitty. The United States is the modern Roman Empire and it will meet the same fate by it's own hand. Yet, people in the US still love being patriotic and attack anyone who brings up the fact that our country is run by corrupt assholes that send our troops to die for oil, money, and whatever imperialism agendas they have. Can't expect much. You can only ignore shit for so long before you become willingly ignorant.
