Why do they say military personnel are putting their life on the line?

Question

for their country?

Our soldiers in Iraq are tools of evil for a cause that, wait, no cause whatsoever.

Answer 1

I understand where you are coming from. It is hard to understand when our soldiers are fighting an unjust war. And it is even more difficult to understand when we are the aggressor.

Just ignore the insulting answerers. They don't understand what you are saying.

I am ex-military and I have repeatedly stated that had I been on active duty when this war started, that I would have refused to serve. I would not have ran but rather would have let them court martial me and I would have went to prison but I would have kept my soul and my honor.

Basically we have killed 100,000s of innocent Iraqis for absolutely no reason. Iraq was not a threat. Saddam was contained due to successful sanctions working. And to make it worse, our president lied to us about the threat making us think we were justified.

I hate the fact that my tax dollars have been used to pay for this war... the murdering of Iraqis that didn't ask us to go there and were no threat to us. And yes it is murder when you invade a country. What else can it be called? If I go to my neighbor's house right now and bang down the door then kill him.. that is murder.

Answer 2

As a member of Her (at last His) Majesties Forces i'm inspired by ability of the undeniable fact that the destiny monarch is taking time to examine approximately individuals that perform on their behalf. I purely want that those politicians who make judgements bearing directly to the employment of the defense force spent as lots time in gaining an understanding. The plane hours could have been flown inspite of the trip spot as a result there is not any further fee to the taxpayer. It has long been the case that the place some thing might properly be executed with out super inconvenience or fee that as quickly as earnings might properly be gained in terms of morale that the prospect might desire to be taken. extra effective earnings from using the asset at no further fee thereby performance is executed. It was once the case that protection tension training might desire to be gained from helping enterprises like national parks etc. yet this became stopped because of the fact it took earnings far off from advertisement helicopter agencies. the undeniable fact that those enterprises have not got the money to hire commercially in basic terms ability that the projects now no longer get executed, the protection tension dont get the learning earnings and as a result that's much less powerful for the solid individuals all. that's continuously a undertaking to offer perfect training mutually as holding morale and it fairly is one way that that's carried out on each occasion obtainable, it might disapointing that individuals experience that Prince William might desire to be taken care of in a diverse way and denied the opportunties afforded to others.

Answer 3

Probably because they ARE putting their lives on the line.
I'm not going to waste my time on you. You've made me angry, yes, and you've insulted my husband, who is US Army. You've also managed to insult nearly every single one of our friends, most of which are either in Iraq now, or just got back.
I hope you get some really nasty answers from some of the soldiers on here.
A person who has never been to Iraq has no idea what's really going on there. Men like my husband died so you could have freedom of speech that you're so blatantly misusing to insult them, and their mission.
Learn some respect.

Answer 4

I consider our soliders innocent victims of the Bush administration, just like the Iraqis they're fighting. They're putting their lives on the line for sure, but it's not for their country, or any other cause except lining the pockets of Bush's buddies, and the president showing up his daddy.

Answer 5

You are an ignorant fool and have no idea what you are even talking about. Let me guess, you get all your confused and mis-informed information from the media and word-of-mouth by other libs and dems and idiots, huh?

Try finding things out for yourself and STOP BELITTLING OUR COUNTRY AND THE MEN WHO GIVE UP THEIR LIVES FOR OUR FREEDOM!!!!

Try growing a teensy bit of Patriotism or MOVE OUT of this grand country!!

Answer 6

Because there is the very real possibility that they'll lose their lives fighting for something. They may/may not agree with it either.

for the person who posted about "patriotism" what you are promoting is in actuality "nationalism". They are different.

Answer 7

because they are putting there life on the line. every single day. thay have people hating them for what they do,everyday,people spit in there face, so hopefully you can respect them for what they are, instead of what they do, but i admire them, i could never do what they do, maybe someday you'll learn.

Answer 8

Feel free to leave, Iran would love to have you, maybe Afganistan.

Answer 9

They say that because there's a good chance that someones going to get killed to blindly follow orders.
