Derrick Wilson

I served six years and two tours in Iraq. While in country I learned that the whole reason for the war was based on lies. I was raised in a military house hold and my dad retired as a 20 year SSG. He taught me to stand up for what is right and what I believe in and told me when I joined that I should take my oath seriously and never waiver. The propaganda that was created by the corrupt politicians to start the war in Iraq and now trying to start a war in Iran will never have their hands stained with the blood of the innocent people and dear friends. I feel that enough people have died on all sides since 9-11 on all sides and its time to end this war and gain our freedoms back here at home that the same politicians have striped from us. While deployed I worked on the FOB fixing vehicles for my 12 month deployment, on my 15 month deployment I worked with EOD and on many operation in country out side the wire as a lead driver.
