I am sorry if this sounds pretentious or seems to devalue you and your comrades' efforts and sacrifices. On a personal level, I hold very high value for the plight of military men in battle.
With that in mind, because of so many casualties and so much violence, did the blackout devalue your opinion on the war and patriotism? You state that knowledge of your plight was NOT valuable to the politicians, who sent you there. How do you feel about the Iraq war now in comparison to 2003? How do you feel about the idea American 'Imperialism', the politicization of the wars in the middle east, especially during an election year?
edit: reworded since my wording was polarizing. Question stands. Reason is, The two Iraq/Afghan vets I call very close friends both feel like they've been used for political gain rather than higher-morality purpose.
