We as Canadians should be doing the same thing, as we lost another soldier overseas recently,

Remember no matter what your political views are, these soldiers are ordinary people doing there jobs, they do not choose where they are going and deserve our respect.

Thank You and may God's strength be with you.

The only part I disagree with here is that troops in Iraq "fight for our freedom." We attacked a country unprovoked.

They are fighting in Iraq because the worst president in the history of the United States sent them there based on lie after lie. President Bush should should not only be impeeched, but thrown in jail for international war crimes.

Sherdog.com is probably not the right forum for this sort of debate, but since you posted here I thought I would put my two cents in.

All our troops should come home immediately from a war that they were wrongfully placed in.

Face the thruth, u cant protect your freedom by destroying anothers. They were even happier with Sadam cause its such a mass out there since USA occupied Iraq.

USA foreign politic is SUCH A CRIME. Shame on u, cause u support killing of your and foreign people for fucking OIL.
Im done, there is just to much dumbshit on here. The troops dont decide were they fight you jackass, and what about our vets, WW2??? WHAT?? NOT FOR OR FREEDOM?? get fucked
