69. "He Died in Afghanistan Fighting Al Qaida - Not Iraq...." In response to In response to 14
He didn't die in Iraq and when he enlisted, going to Iraq wasn't even on the public Radar, as the country was going to Afghanistan to try and get Osama/fight the Taliban.
E.g. That's the reason he enlisted and went over there, Al Qaida worked out of Afghanistan and that wasn't exactly a big secret.
I hear what you're saying about Iraq - BUT, don't confuse the two.
In other words, if I were called up to go to Afghanistan back in 01' - I wouldn't have had a problem with it.
