How come 36 American soldiers have died this month?

cp_scipiom	I wonder why didn't you ask how many innocent iraquis were murdered by the terrorists, and how many of them survived just because those 36 died to protect them. The US cannot "lose" Iraq. It can only give it away- provided the cowardly party have their way. the new iraqi gov't needs a little more time, their men need to learn how a real army and real police force can work. As it is now, thay already handle half of the security. Not as good as the US marines maybe, but then there ain't too many troops in the world who are as good. Why are you so anxious to see terrorists win?

CrazyCatLady	Got to agree with Cyndiecyndie's post!!! Her husband and MANY other men and women are giving/gave their lives so you and everyone in America could continue to voice your opinions FREELY, so you can go to a pizza parlor without fear of being bombed, or to rhe church of your choice without fear, or to be a woman with all the rights and freedoms that men in this society have. Learn some respect for the people who are PROTECTING YOU! Without them you would be in a Sh*tload of trouble! What our military is doing DESERVES our respect and admiration but demands it! Without wavering, without all the moronic comments about "wrong war" etc. Support our troops or leave this country!

cyndiecyndie	No one ever said going to Iraq was ever going to be easy. These soldiers signed up to fight for our freedom -- at the cost of their lives. Unfortunatly -- a lot of people don't recognize them for that -- just that its another "36" ... Some Americans act like spoiled brats that do not see a quick fix -- and therefore give up. If its not done in a hurry -- its not done. Those soldiers (my husband included) are doing their job ... I never know if he is coming home alive -- but its something that we have to face... and unfortunatly some spoiled americans are allowed to feel that way, and view it that way,,,because these men and women are over there fighting for their right to say crap like that. ITs going to take time -- NO one will EVER come to an agreement on this, no one. it will just be something we will always be at odds with. But the least we could do is support our soldiers AND their mission.

john s	how come 30 iraqis have been killed each week? answer: civil war... what are you saying the US should do? leave? now? how can we do that? and even if we do leave then we are going to have to watch our backs for a LONG time because all terrorists have the potential of coming back stronger... example: afghan talibans...

TC	Good stuff. 36 down, x million to go...

ANDREW L	It's a war and people die. That's what happens. No one wants anyone to die. Unless you are a terrorist and like to blow yourself and others up.

PIMP_DADDY	i hope all american troops are killed and burned.....im very sad that innocent lil babies and children are dying...it makes me really sad...what did they ever do to anyone....they just want to live a life....its very very sad that their lives are being cut short because of a country elected a loser that typifies their country(america)....i hope some day...god punishes the americans for their crimes of humanity....and when that day comes...i will have no sympathy for any american children or babies....there are about 300 million americans....almost 3000 have died in iraq so far....therefore 3000 done and 299 million something to go! i hope justice is done to the innocent babies and children that have died! dont worry america will lose in iraq and afghanistan and they will also lose the war on terror...and in a few years time( maybe 2 or 3 years) the war and the bloodshed will come to american soil so that america feels the same pain they have inflicted upon another country!

Ya-sai	36 US lives and hundreds of Iraqi and Afghans. The Americans who died were soldiers and this is part of the job description, but what about innocent babies, children and women, how many more are going to be killed this week?

smitty031	John Mutha, I didnt know you were able to type. I thought your hands were always shaking in rage... You must have been one hell of a pimple on the Marine Corps butt

BECKI	because bush is a loser!

resource_miser	why is the loss of life necessary, and we only talk about "our' guys? what about the civilians and value of life on all sides it's time to support our troops by getting the truth out and bring them home safely, alive

armywifetp	We are in a war. In war people die. Do you not realize there are other aspects of this war. Why not ask how many Iraqi citizens died at the order of Saddam Hussein during his regime? The numbers would astonish you. The cruelty would astonish you. The cost is always high when freedom is at stake. You are fortunate that people like my husband stand up to fight so you don't have to. Thanks for the reminder of how many have died, as if I could ever forget.

spunkyshell2000	Its ppl like you that shame our troops. My question is if you want to know the true answer, join the military...I don't care what branch, and find the answers your looking for first hand. Do you think that this is a "gentlemens" fight going on, where the two sides are slapping each other with kid-gloves or some such?? No, they are fighting with weapons, weapons that kill. That is what is used during war, no matter whose side you're on, whether you have the support from your own countrymen or not. I wouldn't be surprised to find you among those that protest at the funerals of those troops that made the ultimate sacrifice. Its ppl like you that just make me sick.

FREAKZILLA	they don't use paintball guns in a war , people die , you say usa will lose iraq but failed to post the amount of bad people we killed , you must want to lose

cookie	Our military is not allowed to fire unless fired upon. That is why so many are dying. They are standing there waiting on an answer for the okay to shoot back.

Oh No!!!!!!!	I hope PIMP DADD whose comments on this question dies a wicked death, or better still his address becomes known publicly. Keep on hiding behind your computer shi*t bag.

SGT	lets think of all of the bad guys we killed so what if we hit a few inocent. sometimes you gotta crack a few eggs to make an omlet. and who cares no one knows about these people and if we werent there more would die by the hand of whatever dumb *** muslum ruler that thinks its ok to kill his own people.
