Now I am not certain about this, but I would guess I am correct... |

From a purely numerical point of view. If you add up all the deaths its nothing. We killed more in the iraq army in a day than they killed of us the entire war. Infact there is no other time we ever fought anyone and lost so few people. Only exception being when you just sit back and bomb them and never bother to take control of anything. |

i dont think you should be worried about a number of the people witch have died for you but that all those solders are all WILLING to die for us at any givin time, just so you can sit at your computer desk and type your opinion on how not enough soilders died to make you happy, you shouldnt be anything but greatfull |

BE HERE NOW
I really don't think they would die for us at any time. A lot of them joined the army just for money, now they are at war as if they actually wanted to. Pull the troops out I say! |
|
incubusfunkman is right just cuz very many didn't die doesen't mean they don't deserve recognition for their courage. |

I just read this post after being ten days in the field and only one year since I was on the frontlines in Iraq. So forgive me if I come off a bit strong. |

Maybe I am not worried about death like you. Maybe I am a bit more open minded. Maybe they are lucky they died so soon. Did you ever look at it that way? If I die then so be it. I am not afraid to die. I am just not going to do something stupid to make it any sooner. It will happen when it happens. And considering the same percentage would have died on base I don't see where the risking of life was? In the american army you don't join to risk your life, you join to go on a freakin vacation. |

I dont think you join to "go on a vacation", Im not in the army and I dont know what its like. But I think its a very heavy job that takes great strength both of body and mind. I have great respect for the people who are able to join the army, I couldnt. |

I think your risking a lot less people by sending troops over there than sitting around waiting for people to attack us. Terrorist would kill a ton more unsuspecting civilians than they do trained and armed troops. |
|
Thats why are country needs a better defense for terrorist attacks. |

Where is my mind?
I sense a lot of friction here... I thought it might get rough when I first saw Crucible create the thread.. :- |
|
Well I would say yes it is for defense and iraq has done stuff in the past. They are also tied in with the terrorist. I would say your wrong on the other part of that though. I don't know about canada but the US causes little to no "collateral damage". So it really isn't a factor in anything, though I am not sure what you meant by the symapthisers thing. |
|
Look at it this way. If you join the american army do you really think it is likely you will die? How are you willing to die for your country if chances are very likely you will not die? |
|

Just cuz the chances are slim doesn't mean they weren't willing to die to protect lives. |

We dont carpet bomb anyone. US is very good at that. We can hit tanks sitting UNDER a bridge without damaging the bridge. Even now we go way out of our way not to hit anything but the people we want to kill. Some people even say we are to careful and because we put troops in danger, because instead of leveling a block we kill the people and leave everything around it standing. |

last count of recorded civilian death in iraq was 692 ("recorded" meaning they have the names of said civilians). the estimated civilian death count is in excess of 10,000. |
|
clear eyes. strong hands.
We are talking about iraq not kuwait. I would say most the people who died are from the other side blowing them up themself and doing things like using them as shields or hiding in hospitals and stuff. |
|
692 verified civilians died due to america's military intervention in iraq... somewhere around 620 american soldiers died in combat. |
