I am getting sick and tired of hearing this argument from people. What a cold, unfeeling way to rationalize the deaths of the soldiers in Iraq. Maybe they did "know the risks," but they also thought the risk involved dying in service and defense of their country, not Halliburton and Bush's reelection. And how many of the the Guardsman and Reservists dying over there signed up thinking they'd ever be forced into the front line of a hot war? I'll wager not many.
It's a b.s. argument and I'm getting to the point where I want to smack anyone who uses it upside the head.
