Seeing "God is Great" written on the Iraqi flag might provoke some to protest "Why did we come here just to stand up a country who would write such things on their flag?" But I sat there in that meeting, which was completely civil and professional, and I thought about another flag, the one flying over South Carolina. Some people call that flag "heritage," while others call it "hateful," "painful" and "demeaning." And today in that meeting, I thought about the descendants of slaves who are now top military commanders in the American Army, and in that moment I knew that Iraq could make it.
