As an old ww2 veteran I see it this way we won that war because we were fighting for people who were living onder occupation and they helpt us in any way possible.This is not the case in Iraq and Afganistan were most people see us as occupiers and want us to leave,that is the big problem,we don't get the backing of the people in those countries,this should be clear for anybody by now,and in my honest oppinion we should get out ASAP and use all that wasted money here at home and get our own country back where it belongs,we need millions of jobs and we need an healthcare plan for all Americans I think this is the number one priority to get this done.
