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....
....It also doesn't change the fact that to this woman, her son died for an unjust reason.... |
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. |
Thats utter bullshit, I respect/appreciate that man as much as I respect/appreciate the men that died in WWII. I dont believe in this war, never the less, that doesnt mean i'm just going to turn my nose up on our country's deceased soldiers. Yes he fought for our country, that deserves all the respect needed, whether the soldier fought for a justified reason or not.
