We take all of them for granted, they fight and give their lives for our freedom, and the worlds security. I simply want to express my support for all of them that fight so hard and are the real heroes of this world.
Thank You and may God's strength be with you.

PS, no more post about freedom and Iraq, because this post is also respect to vets in wars like WW2, and dont tell me that wasnt about freedom.
hence Memorial Day

They fight for the power and privilege of the gang of wealthy criminals running this world, and alas - most of them don't even realize this.

Well stated.

U are moron !! USA politic created suicide bombers, can u imagine how drawned that people are that blow themselves away in suicide missions?? Dont u ever ask why are they doing it? They dont have such a powerfull army like USA has, to defend themselves from USA tirany, and thats their way to stand against your foreign politic. U create terorism with wrong politic, and with arogance of your own people, u're rich and selfish, brainwashed and closed-minded.

Every action has its own reaction, so reaction to USA foreign politic is suicide bombers.

They do not belong in Iraq and need to come home.

They are fighting because of a lying motherfucker named George Bush and they are all dying in vain because Iraqis arent' threatening us here.

QFT

not to mention the tens-to-hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who've died since we invaded. NOT TO MENTION the hundreds and hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi children who died over the past decade because of US sanctions preventing the delivery of rudimentary medicines.

Oh, but let's just write that off as left-wing propaganda, so we don't have to question our comfortable, quietly exploitative existences...

Much respect for the troops past & present.

Thanks for the post Ben, I agree wholeheartedly. Good luck in your future fights.

My exact thought. I couldn't have said it any better.
