Are there any family/friends of fallen soldiers that still support the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan?

Question

This is not to be a pro-war nor an anti-war question. It is just something that I have been thinking and wondering about.

Answer 1

Yes, it would appear that most immediate family do support both wars. If you were to watch unbiased coverage on television, you would get this impression from family members interviewed as well as audience responses where they are in the audience. Most parents of soldier killed in action believe if we don't pursue the war to it proper resolution--a self-sufficient Iraq--the lives of their sons would have been lost in vain. As a tribute to the fallen, they believe the war should be continued until it is won honorably by us. I'm not an authority on the subject but I do listen a lot as I'm a "news junkie" and a reporter once-upon-a-time.

Answer 2

YES, I have lost very close friends who were glad to have been apart of the effort in fighting terrorism. I support the War. There are allot of Soldiers, Sailors and Marines who have been injured and can't wait to return. Our American Armed Forces have done so much for the people of Southeast Asia, it's a shame, that the only time you here anything from the battlefield, regardless of the tireless efforts our servicemen and women play in the war on terrorism, the Media has to show the American people nothing but negative images of the war. This is not fair to our Service members who are dedicated to the cause.

Answer 3

properly my opinion truly doesn't remember because I easily have not been there. I easily have had associates come decrease back from Iraq and Afghanistan. They believed contained in the clarification for assisting human beings and easily seeing a baby bypass out and performance relaxing. They suggested the journey became good and they felt as they made a distinction. i'm sorry your human beings imagine it should be like COD 4. I easily wish they do no longer have the martydom perk on at the same time as they get shot...(sorry little COD 4 comic tale). assisting the troops is the most patriotic element you may do. f*ck the conflict, doesn't remember in case you help it or no longer, you need to even if help the adult males and females who're prepared to die for you.

Answer 4

It would be an hypocratic family/friends who will or not support the war based of the live of fallen of their relatives.As soldier,one doesn't have involved in politic that determining the cause of the war,and their family/friends can't expect a soldier to live forever.
And if it is unfortunately the beloved one KIA,they withdraw the support,it will be betraying the effort of the beloved one.Yes,most of them still support the war.

Answer 5

you bet! nearly everybody I know who's lost a family member wholly support the war efforts. Appreciate the sacrifice and would consider it a complete slap in the face to pull the troops now. To do that would make their sacrifice completely useless. When we are done and Iraq is stable their sacrifice will be a great contribution to a better world.

Answer 6

Yes, I had a cousin that died in Vietnam and I support our troops over seas. I think our job is done in Iraq and Afghanistan because their government is not being grateful for our help but I do support our soldiers.

Answer 7

Yes, I have four of my six children in the Army/Navy and one of my Army sons lost his battle buddy. He and all of us support the war. It is not going to go away by itself. My son is angry over his loss and owes it the PVT Ritchie to finish the fight. These boys were not DRAFTED they signed up to defened us. We have to support them and the cause no matter how ugly it gets. I have another son leaving for Iraq come October. I don't want him to go. He wants to go.

Answer 8

Yes and Yes

Answer 9

Yes there are. Remember the Holocaust?

Answer 10

I would think so...and hope so....could you imagine dying for something you believed in, and then having your family and friends disregard the cause?
