Ok. So far I have been nice about things but now I have some one who wants to post crap on my page claiming to know more about what I do than I do and more about me. Well I hate to tell him but he is a moron. As my profile states I am 34 yrs old and am currently on my 2nd tour in Iraq. This tour will be ending here very shortly. I have been here for 15 months this time and have lost several friends to include 2 from my platoon. As my pictures show I am a mechanic and wrecker operator. Yes I have seen Iraq with my own eyes. I have more recovery missions than I remember. Yes I have pictures of most of them and no I do not share them. The pictures in my Fallen Heroes folder are the members of my unit that have given the ultimate sacrifice that people can speak their minds.
I have been asked several times how I feel about the war so here is my answer to that. I am glad to be fighting here it saves us from fighting in our own country. For those who have forgotten yes Iraq has invaded other countries before, Kuwait still remembers 1990 when Iraq invaded. But the real reason we are here is because the United Nations can’t back their own resolutions. UN Resolution 687 stated
“Iraq must "unconditionally accept" the destruction, removal or rendering harmless "under international supervision" of all "chemical and biological weapons and all stocks of agents and all related subsystems and components and all research, development, support and manufacturing facilities."
• Iraq must "unconditionally agree not to acquire or develop nuclear weapons or nuclear-weapons-usable material" or any research, development or manufacturing facilities.
• Iraq must "unconditionally accept" the destruction, removal or rendering harmless "under international supervision" of all "ballistic missiles with a range greater than 150 KM and related major parts and repair and production facilities."
• Iraq must not "use, develop, construct or acquire" any weapons of mass destruction.
• Iraq must reaffirm its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
• Creates the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) to verify the elimination of Iraq's chemical and biological weapons programs and mandated that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verify elimination of Iraq's nuclear weapons program.
• Iraq must declare fully its weapons of mass destruction programs.
• Iraq must not commit or support terrorism, or allow terrorist organizations to operate in Iraq.
• Iraq must cooperate in accounting for the missing and dead Kuwaitis and others.
• Iraq must return Kuwaiti property seized during the Gulf War.”
Yet for 12 years the world sat back while Iraq continually defied this resolution by refusing to allow weapons inspectors full access. Finally in March 2003 a couple of countries had had enough of this and put the teeth behind this Resolution.
It is my personal opinion that we are here for the right reasons. We are not here for the oil, we are not here to occupy this country. We are here to try to give these people a decent life like what we are able to enjoy every day, that they do not have to live in fear that they may be tortured and executed at anytime.
So if you don’t like my opinion that’s to bad you are entitled to your opinion but DON’T put your opinions on my page as I don’t put my opinions on your page. Thank you for your time reading this and I hope you have a great and fulfilling day.
