US troops dying everyday. So tell me. What are they dying for?

Question

.
If the United States military "won" this illegal war today!!! what will all of these continuous deaths have meant? Does anyone really care about dead soldiers?

(and plese don't give me that tired, worn out 'patriotic' -- "oh we're fighting the war on terror" "sh-t happens" "well Bush said we were going to lose more troops because of the "surge"..
Geez!)

AP May 26, 2007
Four U.S. servicemembers were killed today in Iraq, while the U.S. military announced that four other servicemembers had been killed on Wednesday. Also, four British soldiers were injured in separate events in Basra today.

The U.S. military announced that an explosion killed three Task Force Lightning Soldiers today in Salah ad Dhin province. A Marine was killed in a separate incident in Anbar province. Previously unreported deaths were also announced: Two soldiers died during an IED exposion in Ramadi on May 23rd. Also on May 23rd, two soldiers were killed in an IED attack in Baghdad.

when we win,
what will it mean? will Iraqis walk
around under seige and occupation
for their entire lives? Don't you think
the United States will have to pay for all
of this carnage?

.
FISH !
You lived to talk about it. Thousands others have died in this illegal war who will NEVER talk about it.
Bush told us that he was going to provide "liberty, democracy and FREEDOM" for the Iraqi people also!
In interim he's been personally responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi innocents!! And while he is at it, he also PUTS OUR FREEDOM AT RISK ALSO.
We're in a new age. Every other country knows what we have done. Many of them don't give a ratz behind WHAT happens to us.
Bush has provided nothing but 18th century cowboy mentality in the refuge of the 21st century....

I don't watch tv Heather. I have hundreds of other sources, unlike yourself. So stop assuming. I have older uncles , grandparents, and other family members who served years ago, with PURPOSE..none of them believe in this war. Not one. (They also do not like how our disabled and injured troops are treated when they come home! )
So Heather: Have you thanked any of them for losing their legs, arms, hands, etc.? for YOU? Have you thanked any of them for waiting several months to receive well-earned and urgently needed benefits? for YOU?

Answer 1

I would like for once that the US people think more about the "innocent" lives of children,women,and the elderly that are being killed 9X's higher in death counts then any of the Allied Troops. For every solder that is killed, 9 "civilians" are killed. If a "resolve" or a "peace" is not brought to the middle-east very soon, our troops will be defending only themselves, as there will be NO CITIZEN POPULATION LEFT! What are we in this war for - your guess is as good as mine?

Answer 2

now and back nerves could make us snicker whilst fairly we'd desire to consistently be being sympathetic. yet i think of that it your case it grow to be in basic terms a case of you being fairly immature and having a huge snicker on the certainty that a guy has breasts. It grow to be impolite, egocentric, thoughtless and entirely irrelevant behaviour. you have some extreme apologising to do. EDIT purely examine the respond under style ZA: "you made a fool of your self" is irelevant and entirely lacking the ingredient. the way you experience isn't the concern. and don't tell her which you're "embarrassed", except you're saying which you're embarrassed by your very own behaviour. An apology and a letter is over the precise. a short yet heartfelt apology is mandatory, with out excuses. you do not might desire to grovel - you in basic terms might desire to be ordinary. and don't make it approximately you and how you "made a fool of your self" or you will look extra worried approximately your self than approximately her.

Answer 3

For the greed of a handful of American corporations, and the "ideology" of a minuscule political base that happens to be in power, and services those corporations.


Heather S1:

I thank my grandfather every day for serving our country in WWII. The last war that had ANYTHING to do with protecting our way of life.

Bothers me intensely that a person so blind as yourself to what is actually going on here and abroad shares my given name.

Answer 4

The profiteering of Corporate America

Answer 5

For a bunch of people who will not step to the plate and fight
for there own freedom.

Answer 6

You evidently don't know much about war and why we have them. You soak in everything the media feeds you but you never venture on your own to find out what is really going on or why. It's Memorial Day weekend, have you thanked a single soldier for what he's doing for you??????

Answer 7

To line the pockets of arms manufacturers, civilian contractors, oil companies and the politicians and lobbyists that ensure that they get the contracts.

Answer 8

They don't have to go. They know its bull, or they ought to by now. They should just be men and refuse to get dictated to by an incompetent idiot and refuse to go. They have only themselves to blame for respecting authority that deserves only hatred and contempt.

Answer 9

For oil, but mostly so that Bush can save face and protect his ego.

Answer 10

I can say whatever I want and you cant tell me what I need to say what I believe is what I believe the terrorist are out there and want to destory are freedom.
