OP

what's your point?

war is HELL?

ya think?

Soldiers are bad?

NOT

Humans are stupid?

DUH

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU DID SOMETHING OUT-OF-THE-BLUE-NICE that would change the destiny for ONE OTHER HUMAN?????

One life at a time....this world can be changed. I suppose it's easier for those who criticize, to sit around and BITCH about it and watch and be sideline players, than to risk even a little bit and add something positive to a life.

I'm curious to know what makes you think you're an expert? Do you have military experience?....loved ones in the military?.....friends?......

Did it ever occur to you that 1) soldiers FIGHT because they HAVE to....or they become targets. 2) soldiers are given ORDERS. These are not choices...(but would make for good conversation...."Soldier...whatdaya think? These guys have guns and are firing....and that last bomb was just NASTY!....think we should do something this time?>...or just let it go.......?????) 3) Do you really think that for example, the soldiers who really are finding it difficult to deal with in a combat situation really have an option to just catch the next flight home?

toxic66 is absolutely correct! These KIDS are taken from the levels of society where they really believe they can make a difference for their fellow citizens....and in THIS case, THOUGHT they were doing a good thing....gettin the bad guys......

You play both sides of the coin here OP. Don't slam the soldiers.....
those who exercise their option to stay home are criticized by "those like you", and those who choose to go are blamed.
That makes you a coward and a spoon in my eyes. Say something intelligent next time, when you quote a random news story that is OBVIOUS
