This is enough political posturing. There are too many of my peers who have suffered enough, who are severely traumatized by the horrors which they've witnessed, by subjected to, and participated in. There is too much psychological damage, too many lost limbs, too many missing parents, too many Iraqi children who have no hope of ever know peace and stability, too many children who have been disabled, disfigured, or emotionally devasted. We need to stop. We need to stop now, or those who's freedoms we've asserted ourselves as protectors, as liberators, as the welcome calvary - well, those who survive will only be more firmly entrenched in a hatred which is more real, more fierce, more rooted than you or I can imagine. When Iraq and Aghanistan recover, when they are able to speak freely in their version of a peaceful society, they will speak out against us, and unfortunately those few who have defiled the honor of our military will have provided our future enemies with the fuel, not just the kindling, but the logs and branches that will continue to feed the justified flames of their hatred and desire for revenge.
We must stop now.
