      Was any of it not factual? I don’t know who either of these people are, I’m not obsessed with politics like many, but it just sounded like she knew the facts.

        It ignores the fact that the premise of the Iraq war was completely built on lies. There were no “Weapons of Mass Destruction” as Republicans claimed. A lot of people enlisted thinking they were protecting the US from a danger threatening the existence of the entire country, which ended up not being true.

          OK I’m only speaking to the clip, not the entire Iraq war. The guy accused her of sending him to war when he’s enlisted. She’s just commenting the facts, right? That’s all I’m talking about.

          It’s always easy to shit on stuff after the fact looking back, but the gov is good at covering stuff up; so at the time, yeah, a lot of people enlisted thinking they’re doing their duty. Probably the same as now with Iran and Israel. Just gov BS and a cover story to go with it.
