This belongs in NSFW/WTF, but since you started here I'll put it here...

I don't have a YouTube account so I can't view what you linked... perhaps it's the same thing?

I know this isn't really a thread for comment, but the last video moved me to reply. Not moved in the sense that I possibly should have been.

I just wondered who it was aimed at?
If my brother, father, lover, best friend was away - doing anything, anywhere - I would love them, miss them, support them. If they died then my reaction at their coffin would be grief and their loss would hurt.

Servicemen and women are brave, they do something I didn't choose to do, but they are trained personnel and they are doing a job. They're not the local baker who get caught in crossfire, or the local butcher pressed into a militia with no training.

I'm not anti-forces by any means, but showing pictures of services children is a low blow. Anyone in a high risk profession (down to and including drug dealer) has a choice whether to reproduce. Don't ask me to well up because you took a chance with your own life, however noble.

Sorry, end of being heartless. Just as I said - it struck a bum note with me, seeming to appeal to people who spend every single day thinking about the potential sacrifice their loved ones are making for political ends.

Lovely tribute Bruce. Thanks, very well done. I will pass it along. Very well done.

For me, it is the grieving families that tear out my heart. Each of those pained, sorrowful, sobbing faces makes me ask myself again and again if the continuing sacrifice is really making us safer here?

I was in favor of going into Iraq. I wanted to see Saddam's ass kicked and his machine dismantled. Like many, I think I knew that the subsequent power vacuum and the presence of an occupying force would lead to carnage. For some reason, it seemed to make more sense in the wake of 9-11 than it does now.

The word "progress" is beginning to be thrown around now, but its just another political football. Expect to hear it trumpeted from on high with increasing intensity as the election draws nearer. If we stay in Iraq forever, we might - *might* - eventually subdue the violence enough to begin to think about calling the effort a success, but I'm not sure how many more grieving families that is worth. I don't know how many more legless Marines I want to see making my petty little complaints seem childish.

Someone please prove to me that for every dead or maimed soldier, a hundred thousand Americans will get to live their lives free from the threat of another terrorist act like 9-11. Without that proof, I'm going to slowly slip completely over to the side of "get out now".
