The American Way of War
By Alan Caruba Wednesday, January 2, 2013
The U.S. military has been in Afghanistan since shortly after September 11, 2001. That’s eleven years and it is longer than the time spent in Vietnam, though with less casualties. We invaded Iraq twice, once to drive Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait after he invaded in 1990 and then, in 2003 to depose him in the hope of bringing “democracy” to that nation. After the 2005 elections, Iraq was eager to see us leave, but many observers say it is as wracked with violence today as it was during our occupation.

Yet, for several years, as I struggle with my own pain and suffering, many have done everything in their power to socially castrate my honor and the honor of my brethren.

Ottawa, ON – 29 November, 2012 – Canada’s Veterans deserve proper compensation and the financial support that recognizes the significant contribution they have made to the peace and stability of this country.
