78. The GI's who lost their lives in Iraq have died in vain. Period!
" implied families of the dead would not care to hear that their loved ones died in vain, whether it's true or not. If you were to tell me such about my son/brother/nephew/cousin, I would hope for your sake that your reflexes are fast"
" I WAS one, and know several, a couple of whom have lost boys there. Not a "right-wingnut" among them. But if you're gonna tell THEM their loved ones died in vain - duck. Fast."

Perhaps they aren't right-wingnuts but you certainly haven't tried to educate them about the war which you claim you're against.

From your comments, I'm not so sure about that.

Are you afraid to tell them the truth .... worried about getting punched out? A little whimpy perhaps and you claim to be an ex-soldier!!! Perhaps you think the soldiers died for some noble cause. Is that it? If so, you're the one who needs to be educated on the Iraq war.

Listen up boy! The GI's in Iraq died in vain! Get it?

They have won nothing. They have not accomplished anything positive. Just ask most Iraqi's if they want U.S. troops occupying their nation. The soldiers have been used, abused and lied to by the military brass.

They did not lose their lives and thousands did not lose their limbs for a just and noble cause.

The GI's who were sent Iraq are not fighting for me or this nation. They are not freedom fighting "hero's". Period!

CASE CLOSED

Still don't get or can't accept that fact or are you just afraid to tell GI's families the truth about their dead and wounded loves ones?
