We've already been through an awful lot re. him. And have had to think hard about the possibility of his loss, having nothing to do with anything involving military service.

Getting to the gist of your post. We (meaning America) have lost an awful lot of people in past wars. Most of realize it has been by and large a necessary sacrifice. Most of us also realize there will be sacrifices in the future. Life is always easy.

Most of us realize that after 911 we can't accept anymore the existence of terror-supporting regimes in the world. Though we should have realized much sooner given the decades of terror attacks against us. We did the right thing removing Saddam. We would have had to fight him again someday even if we'd backed down in '03 like the anti-war folks wish. I'll tell you right now, we also need to remove the current Iranian regime. I pray our leaders realize that and are planning to do whatever it takes to accomplish.

The fact that we've lost people already in Iraq makes it even more important to me that we not give up and make their sacrifices a waste like we did in Viet Nam.

It is one thing to make sacrifices. It is another to make sacrifices and have your fellow citizens trying as hard as they can to make those sacrifices a mockery and waste.
