The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men then himself” - John Stuart Mill “War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things.

Those brave kids would run out into a firefight, patch up a guy whose guts are spilling out of him, then put him on their back and carry him to safety. if yall hippies want to waste your time yelling at the bravest men our country has to offer, i dont even want to think where our country is headed. i am proud to have served my country, and proud to serve along guys like Kris.

I stumbled onto this website by accident, and decided to read some of the comments. I myself am a Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Desert Storm vet, now retired. I find it curious that the contributors to this site seem to really miss the point of freedom. I felt and still feel, that just because I disagree or even despise what you say, I will lay down my life to ensure that you have the right to say it. Now, I'm sure some of the folks out there are going to flame me for being wrong-headed or worse and others will support my comments. Either way I'm proud to live in a country where, we ain't always right, but believe in everyones right to try. I hope those of you who seem to love antagonizing the more vocal of the contributors will tone down the rhetoric and just focus on an honest discussion of the issues. I am proud to see people enjoying their right of free speech. Thank you for reading my small comment. This comment is for all.

A civilian reporter from ap took this picture of him. He's not leading a patrol, and he's def. not wearing a nazi helmet. Do your research. The patch on his kevlar represents his unit, 3rd ID. Its makes me sick that as great as this shot is of him, its on an anti-war website. This man is a soldier doing his job in a foreign country. He is not a hero, simply just a medic, waking up each day trying to get home to his family that much sooner. So support this medic, soldier, husband of mine, and man. Dont bash him because you have nothing better to do with your day. And thank you to those who have chosen to support your troops. This is a picture of my husband.

Isn't that defined as a banned chemical weapon? You realize anthrax exists naturally in the soil, don't you? The propaganda gets deeper every day, and you are just another victim of it.

Its apparent that the person taking the photo had to be a civilian reporter. But like ive always said.... people take one photo or one piece of information and turn it in to the story of a lifetime. Never once thinking of how these things impact our soldiers and their moral! But why should they?.. All they want is to bad mouth our military for doing a job they dont have the guts to do!! I guess its true... it takes a real man to fill the shoes of a United States Soldier! HOOAHHH!! Thank you Eric… for explaining that!

Is this how we refer to other humans now? And i hardly think she is guilty for swallowing everything the government passes out. Arent you also guilty of that? There is no blame to be thrown around here. Because we are all guilty at some point for believing everything they hear or see! Honestly i kinda like my life, and i pray everyday that events like 9/11 never happen again, but if it should i would hope that our military and government would react in the same manner!! Im glad that there are some people in this world willing to do what our military does because i know im not! So more power to them and yes.... i support them 110% BROWN PEOPLE??

They just all sit back and think its all owed to them! Maybe all those people who have only negative comments should trade places with the people who are fighting to get in this country... let them trade places for awhile and learn the true meaning of how lucky they are to and American!
