Yeah, but that doesn't mean that the soldiers agree with what they're doing - That just means they won't open their mouths about it and they'll continue to do their job as a soldier - Whether or not that is a bad thing or a good thing is totally debateable....

I don't think it was unjust. If you think it was unjust, you can't appreciate his life as much as I do. I recognize that he was keeping our country safer and liberating people in Iraq to help them live better lives. I appreciate the sacrifice he made for that goal. If you don't think his goal was just, that can only mean that you don't appreciate him as much.
