I've reached the point where I wonder why would anyone with a sane mind want to join the armed services, knowing there is a high probability they could be sent off to Iraq.
I truly have a hard time feeling sorry for those individuals that die in Iraq who chose to fight in that country's war because they desire to kill the terrorists before they kill him/her or us.
On the other hand, I feel extremely sympathetic to those members of the armed services who are members of the National Guard who joined because they didn't think they would be fighting an unnecessary war.
Is it fair or legitimate to call those troops who want to fight terrorists in Iraq stupid because they want to kill them before they kill us first?
This is coming from a person who knew a individual in the national guard who recently fulfilled his duty/that was going to go AWOL or leave the country if he was going to be called for duty in the middle-east.
I wanted to know if other kossacks felt this way about the troops too.
Whoever tagged my diary as a troll diary has lost their mind. I didn't know dailykos censors legitmate diaries from its members!!!
