foolishheartjam asked:


I know that as of July 2010, there are 81,000 troops in Iraq and 87,000 in Afghanistan. I’m looking for the total number of unique individuals who have seen duty in either theater since the wars began.

In the end, I’d like to compare that number to the total US population to see what percentage of the general population are Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

Debbie Horton asked:


My boyfriend has been trying to get home from Iraq for a week and 2 days now. I received a message from him finally yesterday morning saying he was out of Iraq and was now in Turkey for lay over. And should be back in the states today or tomorrow. He is retiring from the Army. Can anybody tell me if this is normal or is this taking an unusual long time for him to get back to the states?

What would you suggest to create peace in Iraq without a resurgence of the old powerholders that it had?

How can one diplomatically withdraw from Iraq without the government collapsing by their popular beliefs? And do we really want to insure our particular political system in Iraq after all?

Why do people think invading iraq was a good thing?

Jeanette PTL asked:


I hear people say ” we haven’t gotten attacked” so often. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Has anyone thought that the only reason this country has not been attacked since the US invaded iraq is just because of a coincidence?
