Matthew Hoh, a former Marine who served in Iraq, joined Fareed Zakaria on his CNN show today to discuss why he felt compelled to resign his diplomatic post in Afghanistan over the war. Hoh told Zakaria that he no longer believed in the mission, and that the war was not worth our guys dying for:Hoh called the strong reaction to his leaving overwhelming and said he never planned to be in the spotlight for this length of time. However, he's received such an outpouring of support from Afghan-Americans and active duty military members that he is determined to remain part of the conversation until it no longer makes sense for him to do so.Send us tips!
