It does, but no..I don't feel duped so much. I was already thoroughly jaded, lol. It would have been nice, however, to have salvaged something from it. We did have plans, I can;t stress this enough, from regiment on down to unti we had plans aplenty. Many americans can personally attest to having both seen and participated in them - for all the good they did. The shitty plans, that we knew were shitty, far outweighed the good.
People are better off when they aren't subjected to the actions and authority of men like Saddam Hussein. That's not a product being sold, for you to buy. That we rarely act in service of a just cause until it is economically or politically beneficial has no bearing on the truth of that. We may be dicks...counting coins and calculating advantage in the polls, but there are folks around the world who have it legitimately bad, even so.
