This letter from a soldier in the 101st Airborne is written to help those who don’t understand why we’re in Irag fighting for something. To those that think it’s a waste of time, but who haven’t spent an minute of their own time or ounce of their own strength fighting to preserve the liberties they have.
You need not to have a great understanding of the world but rather common sense to realize that it is our duty as HUMAN BEINGS to free the oppressed. If you lived that way would you not want someone to help you????
The Iraqi?s pour into the streets to wave at us and when we liberated the cities during the war they gathered in the thousands to cheer, hug and kiss us. It was what the soldier?s in WW2 experienced, yet no one questioned their cause!! Saddam was no better than Hitler! He tortured and killed thousands of innocent people. We are heroes over here, yet American?s badmouth our President for having us here.

I'm glad you're sharing this, too. But I don't agree in the United States being there. There are many, many horrible dictators all around the world and I don't feel comfortable going out almost alone to battle them. We went in there to find the weapons of mass destruction, and there were none. I hate Saddam and everything that jerk stands for, but I don't believe in the current war. And yes, I am glad those people are free, but I just think there was a better way to go about it.
But, again, thanks for the excellent human perspective. Can't forget the men and women over there!
