I know about 75 people that have come back from Iraq and have shared stories of how the Iraqi people welcomed, helped, and thanked them. Some villages now have working water pumps for the first time in 30 years because Sadamm spent their money on himself.
So 75 to 2, I guess its fair to say that 2.6% of the veterans don't get why we are there, but I'm damn sure they are going to be standing in line to get their veteran's benefits.
