The people who actually order our soldiers into combat should be experienced enough about the realities of war to make informed decisions. The chimp and most of his advisors never served or knew the realities of war. To them war is a game using our soldiers and the Iraqi people as pawns to achieve a political goal. War is suffering, death, and destruction, not an ideological chess match.
Having this chickenhawk as commander in chief allowed him to play out his macho fighter pilot fantasies, put on a flight suit, and play soldier for the naive and easily manipulated repugs.
Our troops are dying needlessly because of this ignorance. I strongly object to that and I question our current leader's personal courage and intelligence. He is not qualified to send our troops into harm's way.
