Why do I always see on the news that this many American troops died. No offence but am I supposed to feel sad for them. There in a war and in a war people die that’s life I wish the news would stop complaining. The US troops are in their country they are killing their people. They are bound to loose some of your own. Besides the number of US soldiers that die every day are nowhere as close to the number of Iraqis and Afghanis that die from US troops.
And if u say its because they are a threat you r wrong. About a month ago I heard on CNN that an Iraqi man was killed after US troops stormed into his house with their guns where they found his wife and kids in the living room. Moments later the father/husband enters the room with a gun. And they shot him in front of his wife and kids. Did it ever occur to them that he was trying to protect his family?

Because, according to Fox news, Americans are more interested in hearing about their sons and daughters being killed than about school being built in Iraq. It's the way that the supposedly unbiased news works in America. You report that part of the news that supports your agenda and ignore the rest.
As to the second part, it's a war zone. You bust into a house expecting to find enemy supporters, you are keyed up expecting a gun fight, some idiot comes running into the room with a gun, guess what. Bang, he's dead, you're alive. I will bet the farm that you have never been in combat, never faced a life or death situation, never been around law enforcement. Never done anything more dangerous than getting off your butt and turning on the TV. Until you've been in combat don't dare to judge those that have. You haven't earned the right.

OMG I just can't believe all the people that do not support our troops its just unreal. Besides the media doesn't ever show anything positive on there anyway. Oh yeah these are Iraqis who cares about them we are Americans at war with them if they die then they die like you said it's a war. So who do you support Americans' or Iraqis'?

Ok no one says you have to feel sorry for the troops, at least respect what we're trying to do over there...And another thing our guys are not the ones killing all the innocent, they're all killing themselves...and what do you expect when a man walks in with a gun on a bunch of trained soldiers with weapons...if a bunch of cos were investigating a family and a man wakls in with a gun what do you think they would do? You dont protect your family from police officers and you dont protect them from soldiers who are just looking for insurgents

The liberal press uses U.S. soldiers killed as a reminder to the people how wrong the war is. They used this tactic to help end the Vietnam War. And I am offended that you don't seem to be bothered by their deaths. To me, they are family, and I mourn their deaths. You should honor those who are giving their lives so you can live in safety.

i think the rather detention center archives on the proportion of unlawful murderers are pretend too? i do no longer think of so. Illegals are being arrested for killing individuals at an alarming cost anymore. no longer in elementary terms killing one yet another, to declare the least. i think the bleeding hearts for illegals merely think of they're attempting for a greater effective life. advantageous they're. a greater effective life for them, no longer us. we don't need any criminals coming from Mexico or everywhere else. in the event that they got here right here illegally, their a criminal, final analysis! Killers? no longer all of them, yet a number of them. we've become the backside of the barrel from Mexico, and not those that desire to make contributions with the help of coming right here legally. this is why illegals are not respected in this u . s . or their very own.

I guess to me the reason they list the brave soldiers who have died on TV is so that while you a sitting at home watching TV for a split second you might think of those souls who have died that day or maybe so you might realize that they are families grieving that night who will never hold their loved one again. i choose to believe its a small way to remember our dead.

Because X, for all the good news our wonderful media could show every day (things like safe neighborhoods, hospitals, schools, bridges and power grids being built) are intentionally omitted. They choose instead to show only the bad news. Why you ask? Because they have a seething hatred for our Commander-In-Chief.

I am a retired Marine and I dont have a lot of money. I am still willing to help pay for a ticket to get you out of my country. You obviously never have and never will stand up for justice and freedom but those like me fought for your right to be a slug. Enjoy!!

Well your side is chosen. Have you already asked for a visa to move to the middle east? And you do you think if the Americans pulled out tomorrow it would be all daisies and puppy dogs?
