You have your own ideas about what's going on over there and how people feel about it, so there's no point in trying to explain the other perspective since you obviously reject it as false and unjustified. I understand your perspective but I disagree with it.
Let's just say that I would be more moved to send care packages to the people of Iraq who lost their families to the violence of war than to military personnel that dropped the bombs on those families. I'm
not equating US troops with Nazi troops, you missed the point of that entirely. I was trying to give you an idea as to how your post comes across to people with a
different perspective on the situation. I have nothing against the individual troops doing what they are doing, they are just following orders and protecting themselves as they should. I'm bothered by the the overall military strategy and reasoning that got us into this mess and how it's been handled at the highest levels. No matter the good that comes out of the aftermath of a war, the horrors of the war are no less real and deserve to be remembered as such.
If you want no alternative perspective on the situation, post this to a site like capitalism.org.

Agreed. There's no need for this
here.
