Pretty sad.

And in your post you never actually say anything about them having their lives taken fighting in the military. You merely mention no matter where they die. That would leave someone to think whether they died in battle or died of old age, if they served in the military they are much braver, been through more, and have sacrificed more than any of us posted. Which I find not true. Even if you wrote your statement better and more understandable, you're still saying soldiers that die in battle are better people than lets say, someone drowning because they rescued a child who fell in a flooded river, or a fire fighter who died saving someone from a burning building building, or a cop getting shot in the line of duty. I guess they;re lives don't mean, they didn't sacrifice as much, they aren't as brave as much as a soldier who dies in battle. I can go on and on, but with some people you can't argue a topic like this. I'll remember next time I bump into some of my friends that are/were in the military and let them know they aren't as brave as the soldiers that they fought next to that happened to get killed. What malarkey. I'm just going by your original statement which was directed at ONLY soldiers and not anyone else that happens to lose their lives doing something heroic.

they are american soldiers on active duty, no matter where they die, they are serving our country. they are soldiers following orders, whether they want to be there or not, and are much braver, been through more, and have sacrificed more than any of us posting.

pretty simple for us simple folk to understand.

me sayin dem dare soldiers who died in active dooty servin dare cuntry, is braver than anyone us of here postin on dis hair webby site.

no mention of anything else, but you can read as much as you lie into it.

Try saying this to someone who just lost their son or daughter, maybe someone on here that lost a brother,a sister,etc, that they died for nothing while serving for our country? That's heartless!

I don't think he is saying this to disparage anything that our military does for the country. The point is, as I see it, is that their deaths are not really needed to keep united states citizens safe from threats. I tend to agree with that, but that's not to say that I don't value and respect the sacrifice that U.S. soldiers put forth. There's just no real value gained by their deaths and that is the saddest part about these wars. I feel that our country can keep it's citizens safe without having it's soldiers this much in harms way.

I'm not sure why it was needed to post something so condescending.

[theonedru]

if anyone posting here has sacrificed their life i stand corrected, but wait you couldn't be posting if you did.

and if it were not for these people, you would have no rights as an american, we would be brits or owned by hitler or worse.

glad you were not around for the revolutionary war.

America if you remember your history didn't really care what Hitler was doing because for the large part of the war we stayed out of it until Pearl Harbor because of the Neutrality Act.

I'm sorry if I offended you so much with my opinion. That you had to post something so ridiculous to attempt to get your point across. I guess since I recognize all sacrifices by everyone as equal I obviously deserved to be belittled like that. Well done, sir.

well you understood the last post

your post you never actually say anything about them having their lives taken fighting in the military.

really? here i my post

they are american soldiers on active duty, no matter where they die, they are serving our country. they are soldiers following orders, whether they want to be there or not, and are much braver, been through more, and have sacrificed more than any of us posting.

on active duty, serving our country, following orders.

I'll remember next time I bump into some of my friends that are/were in the military and let them know they aren't as brave as the soldiers that they fought next to that happened to get killed.

and as i said

again, if any of you have died for what you believe in, protecting your family, protecting your friends, protecting your neighbor, protecting your community, protecting your country, i stand corrected.

again, this mention the folks posting on this thread who are mocking our military men and women who die while on active duty, if any of YOU gave you life i stand corrected.

and mention to your friends that the people that died in combat next to them, died for nothing, see how that goes for you.



and i will say if i offended you, then sorry
