Country insecurity for which they are dispatched as security forces: our fault.
Fledgling national government: we disabled the old one (I’m not debating whether or not the old one was one thing or another, but it was theirs), our fault.
Vacuum of power in Iraq: see “disabled the old one;” our fault.

I would never argue for a second that our men and women of the armed forces have been anything but honorable, loyal, and steadfast as a whole. They’re put there because of the failure of our government to prevent their current security mission.

They died serving their country honorably and for a worthwhile cause.

And, the number of U.S. casualties suffered before the end of major combat operations on May 1, 2003 was 140 (icasualties.org). That would be 140 troops who died overthrowing a dictator. The additional 3316 died for. . . ?

I read that comic today and was just thoroughly confused. I mean, how can anyone outside the GWB administration still be so wrong?
