Welcome to the club buddy. I’ll add I fought in a war (Iraq 2003) that was fabricated completely. So yeah, we are on the same wavelength

Thanks for your service, and that’s one big sore spot for me as well. I knew that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, & bin Laden , or Afghanistan. But there were so much deception and intentional miscommunication by the Bush administration over why we had to go. It shames me to admit, I halfway bought in to the lies. Not that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11, but the convoluted explanations of why we had to go in & to take out chemical weapons which did not exist.

The chemical weapons we & our allies sent to Iraq to keep it from losing the war with Iran had a shelf life that was long over by 2001.

But the yellow cake!
But the long tubes!
But the mysterious cargo ships that were sailing around the oceans and not responding to radio calls… Does anyone even remember that story? It made the news cycle for a few days and then vanished. As if we couldn’t find the damn cargo ship let alone three with satellite tracking available. It was fear porn by the Bush administration meant to distract us and get us worked up. That & 100 other stories.
