Answer 1

So sad! Why are we doing this to our young people? The numbers are so bad, and we all know they are just going to go up.

Answer 2

It's so sad to see how soon many forget....we lost almost 3,000 American citizens in less than one hour the day two aircraft crashed into the World Trade Center buildings by terrorists.

Since then many more INNOCENT victims have lost their lives to terrorist killings.

Since 9/11, there have been NO overt attacks against our country like that occurring on 9/11.

We took the fight to THEIR soil!

You do the math and ask yourself....are we doing the right thing...yer darn straight we are!

Best wishes!

so what is your question..you made a statement..its war..there are prices to be paid its the way thing are done ..your not there..so why are complaining ..all the service personnel that are there volunteered ..in basic they had you a rifle ...remember they train you to kill ...that's what a military does..it kills and protects their country..may be a little respect for these brave selfless persons that are fighting and dying for us every day..

Answer 5

I think you need to learn how to cut and paste. Then realize that while it is bad, it is war and not as bad as Vietnam or WW2 or Korea or WW1.
