Dying In Iraq For Naught

Foreign Policy,Iraq,War

            

“Master Sergeant Wheeler, 39, a father of four who was thinking of retiring from the Army, became the first American in four years to die.” (NYT) What did this good man die for? He died to “rescue” “20 Iraqi security forces, some local residents and apparently some militants whom the Islamic State suspected as being traitors.”

Totally worth it, right? WRONG. So wrong.
