WZTV FOX 17 - Top Stories
This week marks 10-years since the United States invaded Iraq in March 2003 launching "Operation Iraqi Freedom".
It turned out to be costly in more ways than one. FOX 17 headed up to Ft. Campbell Monday to talk with our military men, women, and families that have been most impacted by the war.
It's an anniversary that most people have mixed feelings about.
Michael Jones, an employee on post, said "We've spent so much money, and spent so much time; we've lost so many lives at Fort Campbell--here as well as across the country. I don't know, we went in using false pretenses, and it's difficult for me to say that it's worth it."
Michael Kirlew served three tours in Iraq and when asked for this thoughts on the anniversary he said, "When you first go over there and you listen to the stories, it was definitely worth it in that aspect. When you start talking about weapons of mass destruction, we didn't find anything, so it's hard to say whether it was worth it or not."
The war officially ended in December 2011.
