Personal note: Once we leave (unless NATO troops are our replacements) and if not Iraq will be back in a major battle again.
Yes - I'd like our troops out but what about all the guys that fought and died there - to know all the good they goes for naught!
Yes - we've been there a long time - hopefully NATO will come in and let us pull out and re-coupe our personal - we've there a
long time. Ukraine is another hot spot and it seems we just haven't been able to rectify the issues rather come away with a
stalemate. Which usually ends up being overrun by the bad guys and for what? Do we go back does NATO hold the fort - or
will they pull out? Iraq is a thorn in the side of many soldiers. Years of fighting and to what gain? Let's hope NATO can take
some of the heat for awhile and maybe work out some sort of agreement that we haven't been able to do?
