A reality check? "started under a lie". Who lied, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, Vladimir Putin, Tony Blair, Al Gore. These people all said the same thing as Bush, so I'm assuming that it was one of them that you are talking about. "I didn't join the army to go and fight people I have no animosity towards". What did you join the army for? Did you think they would be consulting you personally to assure that you were in agreement with military action. Do you think all the people that fought in europe had "animosity" towards Hitler. "I got took" Did you read the contract that you signed when you went into the military. Do you understand what personal responsibility is? You are a blithering idiot and I don't have the time to really detail in how many ways. Having served in the military myself I can state with absolute authority that you do not represent the general opinions of the military or for that matter the general opinion of anyone with an above room temperature IQ. The sad part is that you talk about how you were lured into military service like a little victim, and here you are being used by the liberal left as a spokesman against the war. You are an embarrassment to this country and no matter how you rationalize your behaviors and attitudes I don't know how you can look at yourself in the mirror without feeling shame.

Brian Eskew, Thank you for telling your story and being honest and thank you for signing up for the military with the right intentions to protect your country. We need more people to defend peace and not useless wars. It doesn't matter who did the misleading, it is wrong. Great video.

Its sad that so many young people regret having joined. Its an ugly pattern.
