The United States army is a volunteer army. Every person who is in the US army, therefore, wants to be there.
It's not messed up to want your family members to be able to do their job. Do children of, say, police officers go around protesting because their mommy or daddy hasn't been given a desk job when they want to be out on the streets doing good?
There is a lot of evidence that says that the people in Iraq are doing a good thing by ousting Hussein. And regardless of how I felt beforehand, pulling out now and just letting him come back in and claim another victory against the Great Satan would be just about the worst move the US could make.
