[quote="Pvt.Pinhead":8ed74]I dont think the marines or 101st think any different, if your a soldier, your ready to die for what ever reason your country tells you to, and especially if your helping ppl at the same time, I dont care if its the USA or Iraq but we are still helping ppl, and were doing a good job, Id die for this cause, and I think we should evem send 1000's of more troops over there, also that whole Iraqi prisoner thing, he deserved worse then what they did to him...[/quote:8ed74]

I think its funny how 15 and 17 year old kids form their own opinion about how and when it is appropriate for others to die. If you are so keen on this war, skip the ROTC and sign up because most of the soldiers probably havent been through ROTC or the academy, you should do just fine. As for the prisoners, who are you to say that they deserved what they got? Some of those people arent even fighters, they are just bystanders rounded up for questioning. We sent our army over there and our leaders say how great we are for having such a democratic system and that we are liberating them. Those MPs arent any better than the people our soldiers are looking for. How can you say those men deserve it but cry out when our soldiers are tortured too? We are supposed to be better than that, we are supposed to set an example. How are we going to convice the Iraqi citizens to not support the radical clerics if we are beating and killing people in jail? Those MPs just made the world alot more dangerous for our own troops. Why do you think every general, every cabinet member and even the President himself is disgusted with this? These few MPs practically dishonored and unraveled the image we are trying to uphold in the middle east. Before you decide who deserves to fight, die and be tortured, maybe you should think a little more about the situation. annoy:
