I NEVER said it was better. Don't put words in my mouth. You are ridiculous...you keep doing that. Opinions on the war do not matter. It is about respecting the dead. Everyone who has died in all of the countries should be remembered. Plain and simple. I just happened to mention the ones who are SERVING our country (it is their job)...not defending.
Please. Please, stop acting like you "might" oppose the Iraq war. Why are you even playing such a stupid game? It's obvious where you stand. And no, the Americans dying over there today deserve no respect anymore. They know better by now. Maybe if they had signed up in 2002 before Iraq, maybe I would care, but it's 7 years later. Only bloodthirsty idiots are joining the marines and Army now, if they get a cold grave, it's what they deserve. Walking around without arms or on prosthetics or peeing through a tube is a tough price to pay for stupidity, and the disabled vets have my pity, but still do not have my "respect" simply for being stupid.
I'll "respect" the dead Iraqi freedom fighters and even al queada in Iraq (and I do, greatly) before I respect the Americans and Brits over there dying for their corporate masters. I'm done playing this stupid "regardless of how you feel about the war, you should respect our troops" nonsense that starts every stupid conservative war loving e-mail chain letter and myspace spam. It's been over seven years. Anybody who joins the armed forces today is simply doing America and the world a disservice. Iraq is a disgusting war of corporate imperialism. There is nothing to respect if someone wants to participate in such a disgrace.
I NEVER said it was better.
Your intentions are far too transparent to try and play games with me. I know what you meant when you mentioned Uday and Qsay. Don't try and act like it's not what you meant.
