re: Eagles' Zach Ertz slams Fox News over misleading anthem images

I don’t think the Iraq War was worth losing 4500 American lives over. That and the Afghanistan war (another 2000+) included combating terroists but those countries are still a massive mess. The Middle East has been filled with constant fighting since forever and getting involved there does nothing to help us or them. You greatly damage a group like Al-Qaeda but then a group like ISIS springs up. That radical Islamic ideology isn’t going away no matter how many terrorists we kill.

Then you have wars like Vietnam that amounted to nothing in the end. 47000 American soldiers killled for what? Those soldiers died fighting a proxy war.

And then you have additional service members injured or killed while involving themselves in other countries internal affairs. Those people definitely died for protecting American interests not the people.

So no, none of this wars are worth losing hundreds to thousands of American lives over, additional tens of thousands injured or psychologically damaged, and another additional trillion dollars of tax payer money.
