I find it interesting that Iraq was missed in the list of countries helped by our armed forces! Talk about brushing that little mistake under the carpet!
I understand why we went into Afghanistan, the Taliban support terrorism against us. I think history should have taught us that Afghanistan is not an easy country to defeat/control, Russia failed for example!
Although we went into Iraq on dubious information at the time I supported the war because it should have been a positive move for the people of Iraq. Saddam Hussain was an awful leader and I don’t think anyone can seriously argue removing him was a bad idea.
