yup...
and we don't have the baggage of telling the Iraqi people in 1991 "if you rise up, we will come in and liberate you" and when they did that... we just stood by and watched as they were butchered. THAT was the biggest reason we had problems in Iraq after Saddam's forces folded. One of my friends who was Psychological Ops and Civil Affairs who worked with the Iraqi civilians said that was the biggest reason the Iraqi people were not willing to take chances with us...

Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
