At the beginning of the war in Iraq, i understood why we were there and i guess kind of knew what we were doing. As time has gone on i feel that it has become ever more pointless. My brother is in the Army so i hear a lot of things about the war from him. When i was visiting him for christmas, i met one of the people he works with who has already been to iraq and back and he said that he supported the war and also said that what we hear on the news is a lot different from what's actually going on. He said that there are a lot of little achievements that have been made that aren't even acknowledged. This might be true but these litle accomplishments aren't getting us any closer to being done. My brother was supposed to be sent to iraq only a few months after graduating from west point but is still in Germany. The more time that they push off his deployment, the more i hate the war because i get even more scared about him going.
