A soldier who dies defending his or her country is mourned and sorely missed -- it is a tragedy, but it can be justified if there is a clear national security threat. A soldier who dies because politicians and bureaucrats fail in their roles to devise policies and to make decisions that wisely distinguish between real and imagined threats and wisely decide how and when to use military force is a needless and unjustifiable death. Soldiers are not meat to be put in a grinder, and then waved off as people who knew they were taking risks.
