My son volunteered, yes but it was only because he couldn't get a job that paid a "living wage" here in America.
He was killed on the ourskirts of Tecrit when he accidentally stepped on a land mine.

I am very sorry to hear about your loss. The false war has killed way too many people and many families have been shattered over nothing. Get in touch with Cindy Sheehan. If you're not familar with her work, and her similar loss, check out Cindy Sheehan by a Google search.

You have suffered a terrible loss but you have been compensated by the government for your loss to the tune of nearly half a million dollars .
This will never replace your son but now if you invest properly no longer will any of your family members need to suffer .
Your son was willing to die so that others could remain free .No one is forced to join the military .
If you did not recieve a large payment from the government then you opted out of the life insurance available to your family .
This must make you feel realy stupid for not taking advantage of what the government offers people .
Like republicans say it is your own fault if you are poor in america .
Have another child or foster some who do not have parents .Move on because the dead never come back and it would be the wish of anyone that you carry on .

Sir, I am a veteran of the war in Iraq and let me say that I was over there with the Army from 2004 - 2006 and I am so sorry for your loss. People ask us as soldiers why we do the things that we do over there, or why do we go, why do we enjoy it, how we get through it, ETC. And all I can say is that it is because of the people that we as soldiers train with and work beside. What we do is not just a job but it is apart of who we are as human beings. To be with these brothers and sisters at arms, and to be able to protect them as they try to protect you is a indescribable feeling, but when an event happens where life is lost, it is felt through out the military family. I say family because that is what he was apart of, a family that he would have never let go of even if he was to ever get out of the military, he would have always remembered the military family. Will we are over there we know the risks and we know what the sacrifice is, but thinking of what we are protecting we as soldiers are willing to take those risks. When we are out there family is always on our minds hoping to make them proud. We think about the peopel over there that we are trying to help, and about how use fighting here is making a difference on terrorism, and keeping it out of the United States to keep our familys and friends safe. Again I am sorry for your lose and as a brother in arms I can tell you that he will never be forgotten, but go on liveing in all our hearts and minds.

Sorry for your loss. I know nothing will fill the void you now have in your life. But please consider these 2 ideas as you reconcile your feelings and cope with the immediate future:
1. Your son was a patriot, probably griping as we all did, but doing what he felt was his patriotic duty, defending father and friends in a distant war zone rather than on Main Street, USA.
2. Your loss would be no easier if he had been a victim at the Kobhar Towers or on the USS Cole, nor either of the attacks on the World Trade Center.
I salute him for his patriotism and his sacrifice.

Sorry for your loss. Is putting our heads in the sand any better? Over 3000 lives were lost on our soil due to terrorism. If we run and hide the toll will only go up. Your son joined the military. He wasnt drafted. Everyone joining the military knows the risk. Your sons memory should be honored.

Your son was there because he VOLUNTEERED if he was in the military and he certainly was there because he chose to be there if he was a civilian. Now, this being said, no one wants anyone's son to get killed especially when they are doing something that is admirable and honorable. I guess the answer to your question is that he was killed by islamic fascists. There is no proof of ANY "neo-con lies" that you state.

I think Napoleon asked himself a similar question back in his time. He couldn't figure out why men would risk their lives for a small piece of cloth or metal to be awarded them. After all that is about the only benefit they would ever receive even if they won. I guess to answer you question though, to make rich people richer.as they start all wars and benefit the most with little or nothing to lose.

I am very sorry for your loss, but what do you think your son would have to say about your question?
He died honorably, serving his country.
Whether going into Iraq was right or wrong, your son was serving his country.
What lies? Warmongering? The Democrats voted on it, too. And there were WMD's found, AND Hussein's own government has said that there were more.

I am sorry to hear about your son,but it is a voluntary military and he knew what he was signing up for.Its a shame that you cant recognize the hero your son is and blame the wrong people for your loss.It is the terrorists that killed your son..,the hate mongers are the terrorists not the united states nor this President.I thank you for the ultimate sacrifice and again I am sorry..,god bless.
But for some reason I think you maybe be making this up and if you are what a disgrace to our soldiers you have showed and I hope you rot in hell for it.

Most likely because he volunteered for the military. He must have been a good kid.
