How come 12 United States troops have been killed in Iraq this month and it's only the 4th of May?

Question

Where is the outrage? Where are the hundreds of thousands of people protesting like they did in 1970 and 71. I just got back from a sporting event and not one, and I mean "Not one " person talked about the dead soldiers. So where is the outrage? ( Note: I did hear a lot of people talking about that singer who shaved her head)

OK....12 American Soldiers. I stand corrected.

Answer 1

We were part of 100,000 protesting in D.C. last summer

We were attacked by the police. They lined up in front of the march...blew a whistle, drew billyclubs and ran into the crowd swinging. They were not provoked by a single protestor....we were in the very front...we saw and experienced the unprovoked attack

The corporate media described the event (for about 5 seconds).... as "small" and "without incident"

We're here and we're outraged, but their corporate media is trying to deny us...and depress us into thinking we are alone. We are in fact, the majority....but we have very limited media to connect us....they have FOX and FOX clones to make it appear that they are great in numbers and we are small....it's just another conservative tactic...another of their countless lies

Answer 2

Death is an expected part of war. The only ones "outraged" are the Hippie, Liberals, Anti-war protesters. The protesters of the 60s & 70s are all grown up and most have realized that it was a show of cowardice and treason. The only ones that are still Hippies are the likes of Hillary and Ried, along with cowards ,like you, that would never serve your country, because you might get hurt. Cowards and Traitors.
In VietNam we had over 58000 deaths, compared to 3400.
I for one, will be at any Anti American protest, showing my support to the troops and administration, by stifeling the Unbathed Hippies Chickens

Answer 3

Because the iraqes are better shots? and are willing to pay the high price for thier freedom from the occupation of thier country by an outside power they never asked for help. Becasue they are angry that thier country is occupied by a heathen people of a false evil destrucive religion. Why are you so concerend about 12 americans and not the thousands of iraqs they killed. Its a war you started, just becasue your news media only tells one part of the story and your foolish about the real truth. Please tell the 10 thousand families in Iraq who lost family members due to a war the americans started your concern. Why are americans so blood thiristy and ignorant about the blood they spill ? You are the prepertrators of this war not the vicitims. If you dont want your guys killed then go home where you belong.

Answer 4

I think you mean 12 soldiers, not 12 troops, sorry if I misunderstand you. If indeed there have been 12 deaths in 4 days, that is an insignificant number compared to American losses in previous wars. It is not a number that incites people to violent protest. People die in war. That's just the way it is. My son is training now in preparation for deployment in July. So, be assured that I am not calloused to the death and suffering of our soldiers, sailors and airmen/women. It's just not a huge number for a war.

Answer 5

May I suggest your outrage be directed at the Terrorists who killed them instead of defending these murders? No? Well then maybe you would get angry at the Terrorists use of children to conceal bombs in their attacks on civilians? No that does not inspire you anger either I see. Only at your own Country do you feel safe enough to spew your vile BS.

The soldiers died (like the children and civilians they defend die) because of terrorists. We are trying to stop them. You obviously want the to die or you would be trying to stop the terrorists also.

Yes you are quite the noble person bravely fighting against those who protect you from those who wish to kill you.

Are you stupid or what?

Answer 6

???
It's war, people die. Why would anybody be outraged by that?

At least the soldiers were armed an had a chance to defend themselves. Hundreds of innocent Iraqis have been murdered by Al-Queada in markets and shops. Where is your outrage at those innocent and defenseless deaths?

Are you some kind of sick racist that thinks American lives are more valuable than Iraqi lives?

Answer 7

Nice of you to notice our soldiers are dying. Yes we are still at "war." They at least die with pride. Oh and by the way I am sure our soldiers would like to be bragging about how they just got back from a sporting event.

Answer 8

in 70 and 71 The US was dealing with 100+ casualties on single days. We have not seen this in this war once. Hope you enjoyed your sporting event

Answer 9

Thanks to so many people violating OPSEC all the information needed for someone to attack our troops is available right here on Yahoo.

The War in Iraq takes the backseat always compared to Hollywood and it is a crying shame.

The outrage is what the families feel when we have to listen to all the hate that is spouted from the media when they do feel like saying something about Iraq and the U.S. efforts there.

Like you I am disgusted with the arm chair warriors here, who criticize vs. taking action and enlisting...................

Answer 10

It's called roadside bombs, also properly described as. weapons of mass destruction. Quit your bellyaching, unless you're doing something to help the efforts against the terrorists, who are drooling right now at the thought of beheading YOU if they ever get the chance.
