It's too late to pull out now...\n\n\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\\_\n\nI want to make one thing clear to anyone reading this, the comments are NOT going to become some crazy discussion on politics. I don't want to get any crap from this about \"hating america and our soldiers\". I love America, and im proud of our soldiers for risking their lives to fight for us, but i believe that we are wasting their bravery on an uneccesary war. that being said, i do believe that while we shouldn't have started this war, it is too late to pull out now, if we do then they will be back to get us and more pissed than ever.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
