I'm American and I was there, not as a soldier but as a merchant mariner that transported the equipment the soldiers needed, as far as the aussies role goes I am a great admirer of the aussies because I study military history and I know the what they accomplished both at tobruk Libya and new guinea especially the kokoda track fighting a determined Japanese enemy, Australia is a true ally to America and they are a member SEATO so they were right there with the Americans and others in Vietnam, they are warriors and I love Australia and the Australian people, especially Nick Dundee

I was in 8th grade in utah at the time and every single day of school our teachers would turn on the news and we’d watch 45 minutes of coverage on the war , I come from a military family and when Pres Bush said so quickly he called a cease fire shocking the world in his affective our military and coalition forces were made me feel a pride for our country and military thst had never gone away! We pushed a murderous psychopath dictator and his army out of our friends the Kuaties , removed a man thst was mass murdering Khurdish citizens because their Khurds , chemical weapons , it’s against true Geneva convention and a crime against humanity , seeing how the people cheered when that Recovery tank tore the sadism statue down I jsut felt so proud to be an American and have a. Ilkfsty thst will not stand by and do nothing when we have more ability to stop it then anyone. We trained up new military , gave them billions of dollars of our military equipment to be able to protect themselves and then fought agaisnt terrorits side by side with thru miltksrh to get isis out and I can’t help but feel good seeing how affective their military is now and that their governent is peaceful and not filling entire villages becasue of your ethnicity the Iraqi military is pounding the Taliban out of their borders very effectively, so proud ! We did the right thing going over there

I think it was very much also that they like north Koran and Chinese forces that are huge are forced to fight with the threat of death and theor entire families murdered . Completely undertrained and then not adequately resuolied with even food and water sufficiently even aside from our blocking resuply. I think Sadam like North Korea just are on with the forces raiding local civilians for supplies. But what we learned from day 1 with deserters walking to our assault camps is that so many didn’t feel right about it, the Iraqi people are amazing D we’ve seen while liberating them from a leader thst they had to passiaonatdlh pretend to support out of fear. Once they realized as we began releasing prisoners to go back to their families and they saw we were rebuilding infrastructure we destroyed for the day with much better equipmen, there were no Satan soldiers as he told them that were going to rape their kids and kill then if we won, our troops entered immidately getting doctors and medics to help with wounded , nobody got shot for being Iraqi , no one got beat up or tortured , we simply went in and pushed them out of Kuwait and then ahmialated their military equipment. , removed their governent from power and set up a true election where they pick from Iraqi leaders that the CIA would ok as good people . We helped them set up a smoother running, for the people govkernent , removed the cosntarr. Fear they had and I’m irately had engineer battalions and contract workers begin rebuilding anything we destroyed, , repaired Homs and buildings at our own cost such a short amount of time went by before the people as a majority began to appreciate what wr all did. For them ajd the kuwaitees too. We have spent trillions of US dollars reabuoolding iraq , setting up honest good police forces and then began the process of clearing out somd terrorists that were moving in with sadam oug. Then gave them SO much of our military equipment since we destroyed theirs , trained their military correctly , instilled some governent toro old ajd some military advisors to make sure things stay good we left 1/3 of our HUMVEEs there for their new military. Lefts some Kiowa warrior recon and light assault helicopters , some Blackhawks for troop transport and a couple chinooks and began training pilots. We gave them a bunch of F16’s so they had top equipment to defend themselves from terrorist ground like isis thst would later come and we ended up becoming. Really close to the Iraquis as they’ve been appreciative and suprised, the new Iraqui military we were training founghhr side by side with us against Taliban and isis forces. The M1 Abrams tanks were left then gave them several battalions of US tanks and unlike the Afgans that we did the same for, the Iraqi s have taken Thai amazing opportunity to not be afraid, restart their economy and trading , removed the governent that was firing missiles at the Israel’s and Iranians , acts most Iraqis were completely against. As we’ve pulled out of the Middle East after ;9 years there iraq is a thriving country with a very effective military that is actively hunting down the Taliban to this day . They’ve not been a threat to any other nations and jsut want to experince peace . Knowing. Now that the most powerful superpower o. Earth support them and have become the good people they are, they don’t have to fear Iran anymore as we have some military bases and joint bases there with the UK and Iraqi forces do their enemies aren’t going to mess with them , the average Iraqis is greatful this happened this way because of how it’s ended up. The liberal American protestors of the war always chanting it will be another Vietnam ate their words ajd it was not only over as quick as our leaders said but in -99 days instead of the years we planned there. And supprise , they like us and we actually did help them , 3 times now seven sent troops back to helo their military with the Taliban and isis, we gifted them trillions of dollars of repairs and infrastructure Nd military Saudi one t , we removed a psychotic killer thst exterminated entire villages of Khurds in northern iraq women and children tooandbleft them there doing it with chemical weapons. Those thst said we have no right to go intervene, when a psychopath that killls his own family in paranoia and we find out he has been firing dirty chemical missiles at these friendly Khurdish citizens thst live in their own cities far north to not stir up trouble, several CITIDS he wiped out with chemical weapons, he didn’t even give them an option to leave the country, he jsut commuted a crime against humanity Nd killed them Ll in the worst way possible, everyone! So NO , we as the most powerful military Superpower on earth thst believe middle eastern families should have to fear terrorists , and we can’t stand by and let a psycho leader kill entire settlements of great oeaceful oenology , if those protestors saw was so many have over there , the Kurdish bodies left where they lie, I can’t understand how anyone could feel like hey thsts life, the mom laying on here r dead infant nest to her dead husband in an exterminated city didn’t deserve to be mass murdered , no you don’t stand by and watch , our military and militia th vesting is more than the next largest 9 militaries Zoe IMU g combined which means we have the capability and ability to help so it’s our moral duty to stop things like this. And as far as all the claims we did it for the oil???? We did not claim it ask for any kuwaite or Daisy or even Iraqu oil for what we’ve done, a bunch h of billionair oil sheiks in Saudi Arabia offered our governent a percentage of their oil production for frrr for keeing a sure to be sure beaded next said abrasives from being rolled through, with 36% of the worlds oil and only using 3 percent of the oil. Thdmselfdr I don’t see anything wrong with a depot r thst gift lol. We didn’t take irawui oil and we don’t trillions helping them, and somehow the haters ignore the facts.
