The death rate in Iraq is lower then any major city in the USA
and military deaths overall have been just slightly higher the last five years
and we're at war !

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying they deserved to die. I served over 20 years myself but we signed up to fight and death is what we know we signed up for if it came to that so these GIs weren't forced in to anything so stop crying for them.....

If you really care send 50 care packages to our troops and salute them !
