I disagree Tucks. When we swept through Iraq, the Iraqi people... the REAL people... were totally on our side. They fuckin' LOVED us. We gave them food and water and blankets, and Red Cross, and medicine ...
I PERSONALLY passed out every single case of food and bottle of water we were carrying. They were sending their kids out in the street to beg while they were standing back in the shadows, because some were rightfully scared. I went out of my way, as did many others, to go personally over to them, give them a meal and a bottle of water and tell them it was all gonna be good. They ALL wanted Hussein brought down.
THIS is what using force accomplishes. The people aren't stupid. They may not be at college level, but they know their leader is an asshole. Bomb the fuck out of their country enough and sooner or later they are gonna get sick and damn tired of it and take that fuck down. They know we are fighting FOR them. Not against them.
This is ALSO a part of every single soldiers job. To make damn sure that innocent people are helped along the way. Because if they didn't exist, then there's no point.
