Who will cry for the six USA military men killed yesterday?

Question

The War supporters?

3 more killed tonight. ( 2nd April 07 ) No one really cares.

Answer 1

Obviously not you, troll

Answer 2

I am sad for all the military men and women killed...of course many of them knew what they were getting into. I feel more empathy for the families left behind. That's why I believe the best way to honor these brave soldiers is to bring them home. Right now we are there waiting for two groups (Shia and Sunni) to resolve their differences and get along - well read the history about these two groups - they hate each other and will not be cooperating anytime soon. Meanwhile brave Americans are losing their lives while these two groups fight it out for control of Iraq. It is a disgraceful situation and the Bush administration should be brought up on charges of war crimes since they have blood on their hands.

Answer 3

I have a link to all those who are injured or die in any war and some other disasters. I am a survivor of combat, although disabled and I weep over all and each. My heart and soul tire of this. Humankind will never be truly humane until we no longer have wars. And, yet, even I, hating war, cannot devine a way of avoiding some of them given world history and current circumstances. It seems to do no good to rail against it, "The Red Badge of Courage", "Wild Geese over Moscow", "The Eye in the Door", "Resurrection", "War and Peace", "The Last of the Just ", "Seven Days" and scores of other notable books have tried to warn us, to ameliorate our warlike tendencies, yet we sadly continue.......... "The Horror, the horror..."
And even the realist part of me clamors, "Islamic radicalism must be stopped!" What a conundrum.

Answer 4

The tone of your question is offensive even to those who do not support war.

I'll tell you who will cry over them. People who are sensitive to the pain of others. People who are saddened when they hear of someone dying, even if they didn't know them.

You know who else will cry over them? Their families. Their husbands, or their wives. Their mothers, and fathers. Their aunts, uncles and grandparents. Their cousins. Their friends. Their community. Their nephews and neices. But most of all, their children.

Grow up and grow some compassion.

Answer 5

I think people mis-understand what it means to support a war. I pray for each and every US troop that is over seas, and I also pray for their families. Unfortunately, if you are in the military, you go to war. That's the nature of the beast.

Answer 6

I know you liberals want to retreat, but fighting and dying is what the military does. They don't expect anyone to cry for them. But they can if they so desire.

"Retreat hell! We just got here!"
CAPT. LLOYD WILLIAMS, USMC

"Casualties many; Percentage of dead not known; Combat efficiency: we are winning!"
COL. DAVID M. SHOUP, USMC

"Come on, you sons of b*****! Do you want to live forever?"
GySgt. DANIEL DALY, USMC

"Don't you forget that you're First Marines! Not all the communists in Hell can overrun you!"
Col. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC
rallying his First Marine Regiment near Chosin Reservoir, Korea, December 1950

****** The warriors' creed follows ******************
As a warrior, I am trained to do at least one thing well. And that's kill the enemy when my country tells me to - I have entered into this agreement of my own free will.

I prefer to kill them with extreme prejudice in order to reduce the risk to my men and supporting units. But will adapt to restrictive rules of engagement.

If you have figured out a more humane way to kill our enemies, I still have my ears, so far, and I am listening. For instance, when I stick a bayonet in their throat, should I somehow think of how innocent they are?

But please remember, it is MY job to kill them after the diplomats are done talking and they tell me to. That is what the United States pays me for and that is what it expects.

Is my existence grotesque to you? Will my death be as equally grotesque? Will the enemies'? Whatever your answer, it doesn't matter to me. Don't cry for me. I will continue as long as my country has the funds to keep the ammo coming.

Thank you for your support and Pray for Peace, but Train for War.

Answer 7

I am in the army, my wife is in the army every one in my family has been in the military and all of us are war vets. I have lost battle buddies and at their funeral I shed some tears, However us soldiers know what we signed up for and we know the risks we are taking we signed up knowing we can go to war and we do not want sympathy we even have a cadence about it. "don't you cry him no tears because he is an air borne ranger" I am sure all of you military people know what I am talking about. So there fore if I was one of them I would hope no one would cry for me because I laid my life down for others freedoms. .....ShadowStalker

Answer 8

Their families and loved ones.To the government they are just a number, and someone they have to replace with other men.

Answer 9

After 3,000 I'm about out of tears....... After seeing so many deaths for the reason of higher oil prices and market control, I've become numb.

All the catchy phrases......... "Nature of the Beast" " Comes with the Territory" etc... seem to marginalize the reality of so many unnecessary deaths. Some Karl Rove character thinks up something that has the sound of bravado to it and it gets repeated by those marching to the beat of the drum to cloak themselves with visions of righteous glory. Some like to say, "They knew the risks when the signed up." or, "It comes with the job." They might as well say "You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs."

But just for a minute lets apply those same statements to the people who worked in the Twin Towers, which was used as the catalyst to start this whole war. They also "Knew the risks." After the WTC had been bombed the first time they knew working there had it's risks. The firemen "Knew the risks." The police and emergency workers, "knew the risks". But millions were donated to the families of wealthy power brokers who died on 9/11. Lives of the rich seem more valued than lives of the poor. According to la Liberation on January 9, 2002, the federal fund set up by the American government would compensate victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks according to their ages, salaries and the number of people in their families, plus a sum in compensation for the mental trauma the family members suffered. This way of fixing the compensations produced shocking results. If a housewife was killed, her husband and two children would be entitled to 500, 000 US dollars in compensation from the fund. If the victim happened to be a Wall Street broker, the compensation would be as much as 4.3 million US dollars for his widow and two children. Families of many victims protested against this inequality, compelling the American government to commit itself to revising the method.

How many millions have been donated to the families of the armed service people who died in a war that many believe to be nothing more than wealth related. The answer: Nada... nothing....zero......zelch....goose-egg.

Seems we have 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th class citizens here in the good old U.S.A. Seems it's been that way a long time. WWI... the vets went to D.C. to collect their bonus's that were guaranteed to them when they signed up. They were beaten, teargassed and in some cases shot and killed by the U.S. military under the command of that "GREAT" American hero, George Patton. (Poor George was just "following orders".) 1942 Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945. 1944 U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and lewisite. 1946 Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to change the word "experiments" to "investigations" or "observations" whenever reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation's veteran's hospitals. 1947 Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission issues a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to human subjects. 1955 The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl. 1970 United States intensifies its development of "ethnic weapons" (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA. 1994 Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psycho-chemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War . 1996 Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents. 1997 Eighty-eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an investigation into bio-weapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.

NOW.......... The question seems to be; Who's omelet are all of these eggs being broken for?

Answer 10

Answer 11

I'm sure Bush will drop a tear, he cries for everyone of the G.I. Joe figurines(he's view) that he loses.
