America's near decade long war in Iraq formally, if not actually, came to a close today. There are a variety of subjects worth debating when discussing the Iraq War: WMD; terrorism; nation-building; the ongoing mission even after our departure; etc.
I have before and will again share my thoughts on some of those issues as they pertain to what I see as America's duty to our citizens, our troops, our allies, and our responsibility to the global community.
But today's post is not about any of those topics. Today, I want to acknowledge America's men and women in uniform and the hard work they have done over the past eight to ten years, both in Iraq and - currently - in Afghanistan, where one of my best friends is still serving.
Americans have different feelings about our foreign involvements, but regardless of those views, we should always support our brave countrymen who put their lives on the line. America would not be the great country it is without your willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you.
