43. No, no they didn't.
I don't no that many people said "we're going to Iraq I'm going to go join the Army!"

Most were already soldiers.

Unless your saying that the Army is always bad and we should have no military under any circumstances ever. You're not saying that are you? Well then, many of these people made a decision that believed was about giving back to their country a long time before they were ORDERED to go to Iraq.

Our guys did not "volunteer" for this. They "volunteer" to protect and defend the United States of America - and that noble duty has been perverted, twisted and defiled by this administration forcing a lot of good men and woman to go into a very bad situation.

But besides all of that, the point is that lack of reason or perception is not enough reason to wish for someone's murder. Reasonable or perceptive or not, I still want them home safe and soon, and still believe the most important work we can do to help accomplish that is to fight the political war at home.
