<<they are all pawns - and they are dying.>> I don't buy this argument. If anyone asked me to join the army I'd say no. Its easy to pick up and desert or even go to jail instead of fighting. Are you saying that soldiers aren't abusing their stay on this planet ? Listen to The Universal Soldier by Donovan/Buffy Saint Marie "He's the UNIVERSAL SOLDIER and he really is to blame, his orders come from far away no more." Personally, if these blood thirsty soldiers, the very same ones who grew up watching violence on TV and playing violent video games want to do battle with lunatics from the Islamic fringe then fine. Put them somewhere where they can kill each other but leave the rest of us innocent people out of it. Frankly soldiers all make me sick no matter what side they are on, I hate the ignorant mentality of those who join the armed forces of any nation. If the were were no soldiers then there would be no wars unless Bush and Saddam got in a ring and duked it out. Better to go to jail then be put in a position of killing someone in battle. Well thats my opinion.
