DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - For former Army Spec. Robert "B.J." Jackson, the war in Iraq isn't about terrorism or heavy-handed dictators or which presidential candidate is best-suited to lead.

It's about the men and women who fight it.

"You don't have to support the war," said Jackson, 23, of Des Moines, a double amputee from his own wounds in Iraq. "Whether you're for the war or against the war, support the troops."
