All have served in Irag, Afghanistgan and Kosovo. Yes I worry about them, but I raised honorable, moral, service oriented adults and would expect no less than that when orders come they say Yes sir and move out. The deaths are painful but as we know freedom isn't free. When I hear comments from people that we should just leave Im aghast that they have so little understanding of what our men and women in uniform do for this country. That said stay safe and God be with you. God Bless America.

Does not this DougS guy realize that the only reason he has the freedom to spout off his BS rhetoric is because of the 1000+ AMERICAN SOLDIERS who willingly sacrificed their life for that freedom? Throughout history, we have had untold numbers of Americans who gave their life to ensure those same freedoms remained. My answer to him, would have to be "If you don't like the way OUR country is operated, then GET THE HELL OUT! And Don't let the door hit you in the arse when you go!" Thanks To all American Servicemen and women past, present and future. A grateful Kentuckian You Milbloggers ROCK!

Cmdr. Michael Speicher is? Saddam tried to kill Bush 41 with a truck loaded with over 400 lbs of high explosives. is that contained? Saddam frequently shot at our planes patrolling UN mandated (though I truly hate the UN and spit just imagining I'm using this as a point) no-fly zones. Is that contained? Saddam was embezzling money meant to go to his people through the oil-for-food program and spending it on terrorist activities in the Kurdish zone. Does that sound contained to you? Yes, peace has ALWAYS historically been brought about by one country going to war against an aggressor country. It's very simple history. Peace also comes from living true values as espoused in scriptures and supported by a loving God. Then perhaps you tell me where Lt. Cmdr. Michael Speicher is?

The word "sacrifice" did not appear in my post. Not sure where the psycho babble, word games, or talking down are, maybe you can point them out. As for the 1000+ Americans, I'm for leaving rather soon and not sacrificing them. You're for staying, so you must think the inevitable casualties will be worth it. Every war has deaths, true. But there's an important moral difference between having a war forced on you and starting one. For 12 years, we contained Iraq without a single American casualty (and a lot less Iraqi ones). By the way, does it seem rational to you that we "bring peace" by starting a war? You must have me mistaken with someone else. The word “sacrifice” did not appear in my post.
