A few years ago I started to get the feeling that the war in Iraq was maybe losing its meaning or purpose and started to become irrelevent to the point where I felt we could start bringing troops back. At first I was all for the war and fully agreed with why we were there, but after a while it seem to get a little old to me hearing about it on the news every night and I was ready for it to be over. Then my uncle was sent. After he was sent I had a rejuvenated perspective of the war in Iraq. All of a sudden I felt that we had a great cause for being over there, and we should be doing everything we could to help the troops. Having someone I knew that far across the world in harms way made me start to support the cause of the war again, and take a new interest in following the events taking place over there.
