This is a very important article for you to read, especially if--unlike me--you are a conservative, Republican, right-winger, war-supporter, or a combination of these. I'm already convinced that this war is a tragic failure. If you're still gung-ho about it, please read this man's story, and see if you still feel that way. He is most certainly not a "phony soldier."

Why I fight and why we all must. by John Bruhns (DC)
It was a rough ride to Baghdad. Right from the start 150,000 troops were cluttered and stacked upon each other with our vehicles breaking down due to the harsh terrain of the southern Iraqi desert. We were in the middle of nowhere and out in the open. If there were ever a time for Saddam to use his weapons of mass destruction it would have been the perfect opportunity for him. We were in the perfect location for him to attack us -- out in the open desert with no other population. He could have launched the alleged stockpile of WMD directly upon the US military and killed no one but our troops. If Bush really was convinced that Saddam had such a massive WMD arsenal why would he place us in the most vulnerable position for him to use them on us?
