Well there went another 37 troops today.......

Sucks that troops die, but it is always a possibility. Sucks that we are able to kill our own troops better than the enemy can.
I don't think that it is worthwhile to argue how or why we are there anymore, or at this point even relevent.
We are there, let's take care of eliminating the enemy as quickly as possible and bring te troops home.
I'll have lots of cold beers for them when they get back, and won't have the means to show my appreciation but I will try.

Actually it would provide you with all the time you need to think, sometimes to much. Lots of down time over there at points.

I'm ex-military... Join becuase you want to do something for your country and yourself. Keep in mind that you are about 90% likely to go to war, and that means seeing a lot of SHIT that t.v. doesn't even show, and having to have those pictures in the back of your mind for the rest of your life. Every time I look at the news and see a soldier wounded I wonder if it was a friend of mine. It gives a whole new perspective on life. Yes it is their job, but also they gave their life for you to make the most out of yours!

God I get so fucking depressed reading about this shit everyday. My marine buddy thinks he might be going, 4 kids and 3 years to retirement. Somedays I just skip the headlines, not that I don't care, I just can't deal with it.

But hey, 51% of the US voters think these deaths are acceptable. Afterall, they voted for Bush.

i just hope it will all end soon.

Because, of course, that was the only issue people were voting on.

It is just one of the many bush blunders. It just happens to be the biggest one.
