>> if these terrorists are going to kill someone, i just wish it was military people not innocent people working in New York. Don't you agree?

No, I don't. If war hasn't been declared, there is no difference, except that the military people would be much younger than the NYC workers. Putting children through basic training doesn't change them into fair game for terrorists. Probably the reason terrorists didn't target them is that they might have fought back.

techreports,

I really don't agree that it's better or worse for military people to die than any other group of people. When you consider all the innocent military people working in New York, it's impossible for me to distinguish between them and all the innocent civilians working in New York.

Tech--

Sorry, young man, I can't agree that some American citizens ought to be, or deserve to be, killed instead of, or ahead of, others simply because of their job descriptions.

Our military men and women put themselves on the firing line by choice, but this should not be interepreted to mean they are somehow more to be sacrificed than others among us.

Perhaps you'd like to take a break and reconsider what your post implies.

Respectfully,

Chaz
