Military War
The US miltary has an all volunteer force, so why are people against the Iraq War due to military causualties?
No one is forced to join the military, and everyone in the military knows the risks. In the last presidential election, in the middle of the war, 80% service members voted for Bush over Kerry. Why not defer to their judgement on the war?
I hate seeing military members killed in any way, and I do not feel that their lives are expendable, but freedom is paid for with the blood of patriots.
Your question is one that is a little close to home for me, I am currently sitting in Iraq and I have lost one of my Marines over here. That feeling of lost is as bad as losing a family member.
That being said lets take a look at the people that make up the population of the U.S. a good portion has been in the military or at least has a friend or family member that is or has served. The brave Men and Women that were sent to Vietnam are now the Parents or in some cases Grandparents of the Men and Women here with me today. The connection is made between the one that are safe and the one that walk the wall. No one can look the other way when it hits that close to home.
The people that greave for the loss of life I say Thank you for your concern. The one that use the loss of life as a way to advance their political agenda I say F*** Off.
The Men and Women that died over here died defending freedom, we all gave some, but some gave all.
