Make a sacrifice for what exactly? Fill the pockets of war profiteers?  $4/gallon gas? Major drain on the economy? All because some silly rednecks are afraid of some non-existent middle-eastern boogyman?

No thanks. No sacrifice for me, and I'm not asking anyone to sacrifice themselves for a pointless war.

I'm not willing to sacrifice anything. I'm against what the war is. We shouldn't be sacrificing anyone. If other countries thought that this was a significant enough threat, then why aren't they backing us up entirely? Why do Americans take so much burdens upon our society? If these terrorists are a threat against the safety of the entire world, and the only way to protect the world is by doing what we're doing, then why isn't the rest of the world trying to help us? We stand alone. Thanks Bush!

did he drop any good loot?

[realbluemeanie]

Not only has the ultimate sacrifice been given by these brave men and women, but it was coaxed out of them by a LIE!

If I was a gold star mother, i'd scale the walls of the white house using piano wire to shove their noses into a picture of my offspring.

I'd want them to know what a real human being looked like.

I wish shame, humiliation and jail on those who cost these youngsters their lives.

Am I evil? Or just searching for some kind of justice?

and really...

at the end of the day is dying prematurely for belief any less important than dying for fact?

21 years old- whole life ahead of him. Bush doesn't care about zorex00 or her son or anyone who dies over there. Look at the gas prices.......

[granamica]

Sorry for your loss.

zorex00 Her son died 2004 at age 21, he may have enlisted before the war .

I wish I could sympathize with you, but our loyal "order takers" are no better than the ones giving the orders.

If anyone in the service thinks Bush and his gang are not all war criminals, exactly like the Nazis, you need to wake up, FAST.
