That war is a moral and political disaster – a terrible cancer eating away at the soul of our nation." "It’s a tough thing, to know what to do about a war that deep in your gut you feel is wrong and yet watch your peers going off to fight in that war." "When I was in the war, I was lucky that I was in a plane and never saw the carnage close-up."
