i hope im wrong....................................but i think it will all be in vain since the US didnt get any oil rights & to me sitting in the middle east didnt get anything out of all this but money spent & lives lost, maybe im missing something that we got out of all this if i did someone please tell me what we got?????? so for me come new years eve will be not a happy day it will be very depressing to think we did all this for nothing......Obama wanted to make the American people happy by getting the troops out of here, but he is doing that without fully completing the job at hand and there are allot of soldiers over here who feel the same way there are so many who dont want to leave b/c they know we will be leaving here way to soon......how will all the American people who wanted us home feel when they go back to a civil war?????????
