Three-Tour Iraq Vet: ‘Our Troops Need To Come Home Now’

thinkprogress.org — VIDEO: At tonight’s Democratic debate, the candidates heard a strong warning against U.S. military action against Iran from a Marine who served three tours of duty in Iraq: "I feel that if we continue on the path we’re at, that’s where we’re going to end up - in Iran. And that’s not what our troops need. Our troops need to come home now."

  • soulmantim, on 11/16/2007, -4/+15Why don't we listen to the troops and bring them home?!?
    These idiot Democrats (with exception of Kucinich) don't know JACK about foreign policy.
    I loved how both Obama and Hillary tried to weasel themselves away from answering the question and simply saying "YES LET'S BRING THEM HOME!"

    That last girl was an idiot "Hillary, do you prefer Diamonds or Pearls" that sounds like SUCH a planted and wasteful question. A Soldier was killed while Hillary was thinking of the answer to that idiotic question.

    That's why we need Ron Paul. That's why the troops support Ron Paul. If you want to support the troops, bring them home. Just come home.
  • s35wf, on 11/16/2007, -0/+8END THE IRAQ WAR!

  • hawkeye17, on 11/16/2007, -2/+8Please tell me your not that ignorant. And people wonder what's wrong with America? People like this Pitofdoom...that's what.
  • inactive, on 11/16/2007, -1/+6You're the fearmonger, Pit.
  • yamyogurt, on 11/17/2007, -0/+3Even I, a lowly space alien, knows your American troops need to come home. But alas, since I am in space, I cannot vote.
  • inactive, on 11/17/2007, -1/+4Well, you can listen to Sean Hannity and his ilk or those who have actually been through it. I say Bill Kristol and his ***** head over there and finish the job they started rather than sending more innocent lambs to the slaughter.
  • SanDiego92103, on 11/17/2007, -0/+3I left for Enduring Freedom on 1 Dec 2001. I then went on to serve twice in Iraq. Not to mention Desert Storm and many other deployments in between. Obviously the "troops" do not dictate policy. But the right wingers are WRONG when they say republicans enjoy the support of majority of the troops. I know first hand this is not true.
  • shabumike, on 11/17/2007, -1/+1Any pigs out there in space?
  • lhbaker, on 11/16/2007, -3/+3If that question was planted, it was used against her. And it's not like Hillary had anything to do with the death of any soldiers. And who the ***** is Ron Paul?
  • inactive, on 11/16/2007, -7/+3Only illustrating that Bush's Christian constituents are not lusting or eager for war, or war mongers after muslims.
  • maiku00, on 11/16/2007, -9/+2the story is misleading. yes, he received a standing ovation, but not because of his opinion about Iran- the ovation was for his 3 years of service. he stated his Iran opinion following.
  • inactive, on 11/16/2007, -14/+2Rapture ready Christians should fully support democrats / Clinton, their more likely to abandon Israel and appease islam.
