Was the Iraq War Worth it?: A Soldier's Perspective (ContributorNetwork) Posted: 06 Feb 2012 03:46 PM PST ContributorNetwork - COMMENTARY | I want to preface this commentary by stating upfront that I am a former soldier and veteran of the 1991, (first) Persian Gulf war. Thus, I am not fundamentally opposed to the use of military force, particularly in opposition to abject tyranny and/or in direct defense of our nation -- the United States -- and its proven, steadfast allies. Having said this, let me be clear, I was opposed to this current, dubious incantation of the war on Iraq early on, and remain so after nine long years of irrevocable bloodshed and depletion of our nation's treasures -- both human and financial.
