Did anyone really die for us in Iraq?
Now I am not certain about this, but I would guess I am correct...
First off, what is the percentage of US soldiers that died in Iraq since the "war" started? What is the total amount of US soldiers sent there? I know somewhere under 1000 died and there were 100's of thousands sent there.
Now lets consider how many soldiers die IN the US while on base or on leave, etc. My guess is more died that did not even go to Iraq from natural things, drugs, etc.
I understand that the people that did die in Iraq did die for us. I know they did that. What I am saying is, what is the significance of thier deaths. That same percentage would have died on base anyways.
I guess I am just sick of people always saying, "blah blah blah they died for us in Iraq" (thinking they should not have). Well, I got news for you... They would have anyways... Maybe not those people, but thier friends would have from non war things. I mean come on people, we are not talking about vietnam here. If that was the case then things would be different.
