Five US soldiers killed in central Iraq, page 1

Five US soldiers have been killed in central Iraq, the US military has said.

It gave no further details but Iraqi sources said there had been a rocket attack on Camp Victory on the outskirts of Baghdad.

Washington officially ended combat operations in Iraq last August, leaving fewer than 50,000 US troops in Iraq.

Those were wars of necessity, of good cause. Everyone sacrificed themselves for the greatest good.
Today’s wars are being fought by people forced to be there.
We should be looking at how disgusting it is we've allowed 1500 young individuals to be killed... for something no one wants!

Oh, ok. So no one wants political and religious freedom? Or are you just assuming that because in your country you already have it?
Your country has the power to free people from their opressors, and therefore, I believe, your country also has the responsibility to do just that. To stand by while these opressive regimes rule the vast majority of the world's population is akin to opression itself.
Those soldiers JOINED the military, or did you not know that?
They VOLUNTEERED to serve their country and defend freedoms. Did you know that?
Those soldiers don't want you feeling sorry for them, or even mourning them. What they want is for YOU to believe in the same noble causes that they believe in. That way, maybe people in my country, and in all countries like mine, might just get the help we need from countries like yours.

Push your governments to send their forces to ALL opressed countries and oust ALL tyrants from their seats of power. And don't worry about a few thousand soldiers, after all, they aren't worried about dying, about fighting, about serving. If they were, they'd be sitting back home in a 9-to-5 whining about a few 'measly' deaths.

So my response is 'So what'? A shame for the families that's all.
They will probably end up in hell and deservedly too.

That is sick. The product of a sick mind. Get help. Or don't. I don't care.

I've heard they don't count Commando unit casualties. So the losses are more serious.
