I was proud to have served in the US Air Force during the first Gulf War to expel the Iraqis from Kuwait. It was a noble effort, IMO. Even then though, there was the issue that Sudaam Hussein did not place his dedicated troops along the Iraq-Saudi Arabia border. He drafted innocent farmers and placed them there - and we mercilessly carpet-bombed them. When we finally sent in the ground troops, the surviving Iraqi "soldiers" surrendered to news camera crews. We taught them to sing the Gilligan's Island song and they were ecstatic - happy to be alive.
So, mixed feelings.
I feel like we did what we had to do but it's nothing to beat our chests about and feel superior.
Luke: "I'm not looking for a friend; I'm looking for a great warrior."
Yoda: "Great warrior? Wars not make one great."
That's how I feel about it.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
