Okay, so we go at it alone (which isnt true... it's a multinational force) So what? I revere our fallen soldiers with the utmost respect. I am a vet (D Storm 1) and I full well knew I could get killed. I have a friend who deploys to Iraq tomorrow... we said goodbye to him on Sunday when he flew to Pendleton. He knows....... he may not come back. BUT.... he knows if for some reason he doesnt... it was for OUR freedom.
Our military are not "conscripts" they fight because they believe in the American idea of freedom. And Saddam Hussein, kept that freedom from his people, and THREATENED the US by providing an environment that was "pro-terror". Just ask the 15,000 dead kurds who were killed by their own leader.
I'll shut up now.
