We know the feeling of the soldiers during and after the wars,they want to feel they are not killers and there is a nobel target for their fighting and that is why your partner follow the big lie.
I agree with him we are one nation under God.But this is not the reason of the war.Now there is no Saddam,there is no destructive weapons but there is an American occupation!Is he think that the people in Iraq are childeren and they need a father?Is it fair to destroy the country, then give their money to the American companies to rebuild!!
Your battles were not with the citizens of Iraqe!are your weapons guieded towards cities full of citizens know their way and avoid the citzens?what about a lot of chiledern lost their legs,eyes or even their life in your battles?what about using Uranium in your fight to kill the future of the chielderen in Iraq?
The measrable case of the poor man he met is because of suffering for 12 years because of your country.I am sure that this man was afraid from your friend and he choose this way to protect himself.
Your partner thought that he was called upon by the God to assist in fighting an evil.Let him read the Amnesty international report about USA for the last year to know how
{More than 600 foreign nationals – most arrested during the military conflict in Afghanistan – were detained without charge or trial or access to counsel or family members in the US naval base in Guant?namo Bay, Cuba. The USA refused to recognize them as prisoners of war or allow their status to be determined by a "competent tribunal" as required under the Geneva Conventions.}
Let him read this report again to know more about ill-treatment of civilians by US ground forces in Afghanistan.
Let him read this report again to know more about ill-treatment and excessive use of force by law enforcement officials
Let your friend ask him why he did`nt go to Palastine to save those who lost their land and their right in safe and good life since 55 years with the support of your country,and also under the name of God?I know his feeling but let him remember that one day he will responsible to answer the God Why he did that?The big lie will never save him.
I hope God forgivness for all people forced to do the wrong.
