Iraq War Anniversary
All,
Twenty-two years ago today the Iraq War began and here is where I stand:
I am proud of my service.
I am proud of what the Marines accomplished along with our sister services and I am proud of what my country did.
There are two attachments below which explain my rationale.
The first is an update on the situation in Iraq compared to where Iraq stood just before the war began in early 2003 and that truth is the foundation of my continuing pride in what we did.
The second was written in 2010. It addressed the causes of the war and has a new addendum written this year, 2025, to provide perspective on how the Iraq War still affects the Middle East today.
Semper Fi,
Mike Walker, Col USMC (ret)
