48. Look at it this way --
You know you are going to Iraq. This is a given. Now you can either a) get paid a little for it. or b) get paid a lot for it. What do you do?

Moreover, what job do you expect a Navy SEAL to take once he's out of Spec Ops? Gardener?

At the end of the day, the only reason these people are over there is because the Bush administration made it possible. I don't blame them for being there at all. It's more their choice than it would be if they were still contracted with the armed forces, but it's still not a can of worms they opened up. It's Bush and his people who did this.

And to gloat over their deaths by posthumously labeling them as "war criminals" even when you have no idea who they were or what they did is ignorant at best and reprehensible at worst. You want to call someone a war criminal, look in the White House. At least you know who's sitting there.
