Another day, another argument. Since you seem to like a good debate, I'm posing this question. .. if no man has the right to decide the fate of another human being, how do we justify sending young, healthy men and women onto the battlefield to die?

I don't debate with Arabs intent on murdering Jews.

I wonder why are they so evil they must murder young Jewish children for their terrorist aims, but I don't debate with them.

Last time I checked....we had a volunteer army. These men made their own decision to join and are aware of the risks. BTW, they are not sending men out to die, but to win.

We don't send them to die, we send them to kill the enemy.
