I had a job to do, and because it was my job I did it to the very best of my ability while I was there. Because I didn't support the war though I chose not to re-enlist.

I didn't want to be away from my family for a war I didn't believe was necessary.

But ill flat out say right now that I HOPE that we get the job done over there, that we accomplish our mission, that the Iraqi's end up with a stable and democratic nation and that all of our heroes serving over there get home safe as quickly as possible.

In other words I want us to WIN over there. If that means the Bush administration looks good then I wish for that as well.

I dont like the Bush admin, I dont like Bush, I dont agree with our reasons for going to war in Iraq and I think it has been horribly mismanaged.....But with that said I hope I end up wrong about all those things and it becomes a great success.

I dont know how else to put it, but my point is that you CAN be opposed to the war as a whole but still be rooting for us to win, and be supporting the troops.

More than anything else I want them to return home safe to their families.
