A US Army chaplain currently deployed in Iraq has some non-binding questions and observatins about the House's "non-binding resolution":
When will Congress demand we remove troops from Cuba, Puerto Rico and Guam? The Spanish-American war was over more than 100 years ago. Speaking of which, why do we continue joint exercises with the Philippines, also a product of the Spanish-American war?
You know, there is only one war, that I can think of, in the last 100 years in which our troops didn't stick around for a while. Vietnam. The anti-war movement got our troops out of there, and thank God they did. Vietnam might have ended up like Germany, Japan, Puerto Rico, South Korea, or any of the other disastrous places where our troops stuck around.
We can't afford to keep troops in Iraq, and let it become another Japan.
Preach on brother.
