why is it ok to cheer for soldiers in battle?

Question

but not pitbulls?

human soldiers that is..

Answer 1

Pitbulls do not maintain the security of the country to which they belong because they do not know better. Soldiers are responsible adults willing to sacrifice their blood and lives for the benefit of their country and all who live in it.

Be grateful that the soldiers are willing to do that for you and your loved ones.

Answer 2

Maybe my answer is the way it is because i am the wife of a soldier who has done two tours in iraq and is fixing to do another. When people cheer they aren't cheering for for the death and annialation of another human being (like in most dog fights). Cheer isn't really the right word i don't think. Through talking to my husband I find that it is more like moral support rather than cheering. Whether we believe these men and women are over there for a good reason or not, they are still our husbands, wives, children, friends, and neighbors. We don't have to support why were there but we should support the fact that there are people willing to put there life on the line for whatever the cause may be. Just think these same soldiers that people are calling murderers and monsters could be the exact same people who could one day protect us from a real problem. then what will we say?.....You asked a really great question.

Answer 3

Your question points to a profound irony and I think, rather than try to answer, that it merits sincere meditation. Too often the most blatant breaches of logic and of our proposed 'humanity' are like the noses on our face. Good job.
