It means you are defending the people of your country. When we are facing an enemy that is more than willing to bully, attack, and capture innocent people including Americans, you bet your ass our soldiers are putting their lives on the line for this country. Agree with the Iraq war or not, our soldiers are fighting terrorist insurgents right now. These are people who would love to (and try to) destroy every American life they can squeeze their evil little hands on. These men are fighting because of politics. They are fighting because its their god damned duty.
isn't that a normal response when you invade another coountry? you meet resistance. It's war, not a kindergarden. For every action there's a reaction.
I somehow sense that no matter what kind of war American soldiers are fighting they are always presented as hereos and regarding as proctecting/serving their country, even though the war takes place in another country, even though the war is about profit.
Nowadays american soldiers are putting their life on the line to help the public in Iraq, that has nothing to do with their own country... of course, they are also putting their life on line in order to save Bush' face, cuz this wasn't a part of his plan, but it makes him look good when he tries to help another country.
But let's not forget that some "our" and "your" soldiers have been mean and evil too - torture and humiliation anyone?!?
In our country ppl don't go to Iraq to fight for glory, fame or their country. They do it for money, cuz they are too stupid to get a real job ( i've been in the army myself, and i know what kinds of morrons who go to war) - in some cases they even go down their because they have played too much counter strike - wee! killing ppl is fun!. If they come home in a coffin it's their own fucking problem, it was their own decision and they should know the consequence of penetrating bullets
If you really do go to Iraq in order to help the public down there, then are a hero of course, but those ppl are few.
I admit i don't know how the military is organized in America, wheiter ppl can decide if they want to go war or not.
The terrorists we are fighting right now in Iraq are a threat to our safety. They were a threat before we even went in there. You don't think that if they thought they could do it, they wouldn't massacre America? We are facing an enemy with exactly that kind of mentality right now. We had been facing terrorist attacks not necessarily from THEM specifically, but from similar people throughout the middle east. It's a matter of getting them before they fucking get us (9/11).
Vietnam, anyone? Korea wasn't all that popular either. So no, you are wrong actually. I somehow sence that no matter what foreign policy America chooses, they are going to be criticized for either not doing anything or actually doing something. I don't recall Europe complaining when we came there to save their war torn asses. The soldiers aren't fucking fighting to save "Bush's face"! I have not met one soldier or any person period who says "God damn I love Bush and his policies so much, I want to kill people and risk my own painful death to make sure people love him just as much!" Bullshit. They are fighting right now because they don't have a fucking choice. Pulling out is not an option and both sides typically agree with that. It doesn't really make him look good for helping another country anyways. Throughout history, America has tended to support a more isolationist policy and many many other presidents were criticized for engaging in foreign wars. Only a few were actually praised for helping the oppressed. Also, and this might be shocking, but we aren't really profiting for this war.
Yes, a FEW have done some bad things, but the enemy has done far worse. Most of them deserve the torture and humiliation for their crimes anyway. You'd better believe that if we wanted to, we could do FAR more damage. If anything we are extremelly tame and moral (especially considering our numbers).
They are just as much heroes for having the courage to go down there, whether for Iraq or America.

The military preys on poor people. Fuck 'em. I hope they all get blown up, on both sides, American or bloody English.
You're an idiot. I'd suggest informing yourself before making baseless comments. Not only that, but it's hypocritical. It's the same thing as saying "I hope all Jews get blown up" or "I hope all Muslims get blown up". All are based on foolish steorotypes. Oh shit, I forgot, it's not politically correct to wish death upon a race, but any other group of people you don't agree with is alright.

Most tend to scream a lot before they die. Supposedly, theres a lot of pain involved with getting shot.
