I understand that there are many people in the United States oppose war, but if it were not for war, our nation would not even exist. I feel bad for the people who lose family members in Iraq, but I don't understand why people complain about all of the soldiers who are dying in Iraq. All of the troops we have in Iraq voluntarily joined the military knowing there was a possibility of going to war. It would be different if the troops had been drafted and sent to war against their own will, but those are not the circumstances. Plus, in comparison to the other wars we have been in, very few soldiers have lost their lives. I have heard people argue that they only joined the military to get an education, but if they were ignorant enough to not realize the possibility of going to war, perhaps that education won't be of much use anyway in the real world where they will have to use it. I don't mean to be disrespectful to any militants or their families, but that is my view. What do you think?
