If you fought in Iraq of Afganistan, do you feel like your efforts were wasted?

I was proud to serve and to give relief to some of my fellow servicemen and women who have been deployed multiple times. Your statements that Iraq has not been bettered, that it is ruled in terror, and that Afghanistan is corrupt are flawed by personal bias, not fact. There is no way to measure our level of safety from terrorism and whether it ties directly to our efforts to quell the forces of evil that operate within those two countries or not.
