I am in the army, my wife is in the army every one in my family has been in the military and all of us are war vets. I have lost battle buddies and at their funeral I shed some tears, However us soldiers know what we signed up for and we know the risks we are taking we signed up knowing we can go to war and we do not want sympathy we even have a cadence about it. "don't you cry him no tears because he is an air borne ranger" I am sure all of you military people know what I am talking about. So there fore if I was one of them I would hope no one would cry for me because I laid my life down for others freedoms. .....ShadowStalker

We all know YOU won't, being you hate this country and it's military so much.

Mr. Indignant

The tone of your question is offensive even to those who do not support war.

I'll tell you who will cry over them. People who are sensitive to the pain of others. People who are saddened when they hear of someone dying, even if they didn't know them.

You know who else will cry over them? Their families. Their husbands, or their wives. Their mothers, and fathers. Their aunts, uncles and grandparents. Their cousins. Their friends. Their community. Their nephews and neices. But most of all, their children.

Grow up and grow some compassion.

You can if you want to but they died an honerable death serving their country... be proud.

After 3,000 I'm about out of tears....... After seeing so many deaths for the reason of higher oil prices and market control, I've become numb.

All the catchy phrases......... "Nature of the Beast" " Comes with the Territory" etc... seem to marginalize the reality of so many unnecessary deaths. Some Karl Rove character thinks up something that has the sound of bravado to it and it gets repeated by those marching to the beat of the drum to cloak themselves with visions of righteous glory. Some like to say, "They knew the risks when the signed up." or, "It comes with the job." They might as well say "You can't make an omelet without breaking some eggs."

But just for a minute lets apply those same statements to the people who worked in the Twin Towers, which was used as the catalyst to start this whole war. They also "Knew the risks." After the WTC had been bombed the first time they knew working there had it's risks. The firemen "Knew the risks." The police and emergency workers, "knew the risks". But millions were donated to the families of wealthy power brokers who died on 9/11. Lives of the rich seem more valued than lives of the poor. According to la Liberation on January 9, 2002, the federal fund set up by the American government would compensate victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks according to their ages, salaries and the number of people in their families, plus a sum in compensation for the mental trauma the family members suffered. This way of fixing the compensations produced shocking results. If a housewife was killed, her husband and two children would be entitled to 500, 000 US dollars in compensation from the fund. If the victim happened to be a Wall Street broker, the compensation would be as much as 4.3 million US dollars for his widow and two children. Families of many victims protested against this inequality, compelling the American government to commit itself to revising the method.

How many millions have been donated to the families of the armed service people who died in a war that many believe to be nothing more than wealth related. The answer: Nada... nothing....zero......zelch....goose-egg.

Seems we have 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th class citizens here in the good old U.S.A. Seems it's been that way a long time. WWI... the vets went to D.C. to collect their bonus's that were guaranteed to them when they signed up. They were beaten, teargassed and in some cases shot and killed by the U.S. military under the command of that "GREAT" American hero, George Patton. (Poor George was just "following orders".) 1942 Chemical Warfare Services begins mustard gas experiments on approximately 4,000 servicemen. The experiments continue until 1945. 1944 U.S. Navy uses human subjects to test gas masks and clothing. Individuals were locked in a gas chamber and exposed to mustard gas and lewisite. 1946 Patients in VA hospitals are used as guinea pigs for medical experiments. In order to allay suspicions, the order is given to change the word "experiments" to "investigations" or "observations" whenever reporting a medical study performed in one of the nation's veteran's hospitals. 1947 Colonel E.E. Kirkpatrick of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission issues a secret document (Document 07075001, January 8, 1947) stating that the agency will begin administering intravenous doses of radioactive substances to human subjects. 1955 The CIA, in an experiment to test its ability to infect human populations with biological agents, releases a bacteria withdrawn from the Army's biological warfare arsenal over Tampa Bay, Fl. 1970 United States intensifies its development of "ethnic weapons" (Military Review, Nov., 1970), designed to selectively target and eliminate specific ethnic groups who are susceptible due to genetic differences and variations in DNA. 1994 Senator John D. Rockefeller issues a report revealing that for at least 50 years the Department of Defense has used hundreds of thousands of military personnel in human experiments and for intentional exposure to dangerous substances. Materials included mustard and nerve gas, ionizing radiation, psycho-chemicals, hallucinogens, and drugs used during the Gulf War . 1996 Department of Defense admits that Desert Storm soldiers were exposed to chemical agents. 1997 Eighty-eight members of Congress sign a letter demanding an investigation into bio-weapons use & Gulf War Syndrome.

NOW.......... The question seems to be; Who's omelet are all of these eggs being broken for?

*****

Their families and loved ones.To the government they are just a number, and someone they have to replace with other men.

fire_of_fanthor

i would better cry for the thousands of people that the idiotic bush asked to atack

thegubmint

Obviously you're not. You're just going to use their deaths to snipe at the causes they sacrificed for.

I am sad for all the military men and women killed...of course many of them knew what they were getting into. I feel more empathy for the families left behind. That's why I believe the best way to honor these brave soldiers is to bring them home. Right now we are there waiting for two groups (Shia and Sunni) to resolve their differences and get along - well read the history about these two groups - they hate each other and will not be cooperating anytime soon. Meanwhile brave Americans are losing their lives while these two groups fight it out for control of Iraq. It is a disgraceful situation and the Bush administration should be brought up on charges of war crimes since they have blood on their hands.

It will not bother the Bush dynasty one bit.

I think people mis-understand what it means to support a war. I pray for each and every US troop that is over seas, and I also pray for their families. Unfortunately, if you are in the military, you go to war. That's the nature of the beast.

BOB

I'm sure Bush will drop a tear, he cries for everyone of the G.I. Joe figurines(he's view) that he loses.

eve

ill cry for every soldier who was forced to go and fight (from anywhere and to anywhere),but im not going to feel sorry for those starting wars everywhere in the world in the name of fighting terrorism.
