American soldiers are fighting because they were ordered to. Most soldiers primary interest is not the United States, it is the safety of their brothers. They watch each others back, and all want to return home in one piece.
That being said, the military in Iraq have been misused and ill treated by the current administration. We had no reason to go into Iraq, and you can readily see they would have been , and we would have been, better off, and safer, if Hussein were still in power. We put him there. And there would have been a whole hell of a lot more people alive, Iraqi's, Americans and those killed who are, or in some cases were, our allies.
Right now it is a feeding frenzy for those on corporate welfare! Bush loves those BLANK checks. That is what he has been getting for over 4 years and he is having a hissy fit if those who's power under the constitution is to approve funding, do not give him a blank check!
The man has no checks, and he needs a few as he has a penchant for violating laws and treaties and has the audacity to accuse others of the same. We have violated more than all other countries combined! Iran pales in comparison to what we have done!
Gravel is my kind of candidate. he's the 1st that has even come close to telling the truth!

Where are their families? I don't understand? Fighting for families in someone elses' yard.
Assuming these terrorists will attack and you influence others to cooperate and destroy at another ones land is surely the work of an evil mind.
Then the world must live in a world of assumption.
This is what happen to the world of today.
The worst of people is to believe those who assume.
Stupid followers.

I have a friend who fought in Iraq and was totally opposed to it. That is why I find it funny when conservatives say that all the soldiers fully support the president. Many people forget the soldiers are human, and not just pawns. As Ray Davies sang, every soldier is "Some Mother's Son", regardless of what side they are on.

Neither, they are fighting to make some easy money while using humans for target practice, fulfilling their sick fantasy of acting out a first-person shooter game they played back when they were kids children...Actually, they still do play such games. Twisted.

I don't think they can't claim they are fighting for their family. I feel bad for them because they are risking their life just like any other wars but they are not respected or cheered at all.

American soldiers are fighting in foreign lands so that their countrymen will sleep peacefully at home without being attacked by terrorists.

I believe they are fighting for an idea. The idea that they are fighting a war against terror, terror that the U.S. and Britain created themselves by war and sanctions.

American soldiers fight because if they dont they will get kicked out of the USA.(The ones who are randomly picked)
The ones who go by choice usually are poor and do not have money for college. The people who fight in the army get to go to college for free, so the army is their only option
