People do the best they can with the knowledge they have at the time. I think that the individuals that serve, do so with generally the right intentions. However, it is disheartening to think that their commitment to their country can be undermined by special interests, for example the gain of banking or corporate interests.
I agree. Its sad that it was all a hoax...a big lie...and that it is still being perpetuated today. When I found out the real reasons for the war...it became hard to stay in the service. So I just decided to leave.
