To believe that young men and women must continue combat because others before them died in combat is madness.

That is a gross oversimplification.

To continue to fight in a losing cause is foolish.

To surrender when victory is being achieved and surrender would mean the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Kurds and Shiites as well as surrendering strategic control of a majority of the world's know oil reserves to terrorists is lunacy.

When it comes to the real world, liberals have the mentality of 8 year olds.

I don't agree that losing a child in any circumstance would be equally painful as the author suggests, and hopefully I never find out. If a child dies while robbing a store with a handgun, it's an all out tragedy and failure for the parent. If a child dies while trying to save the life of an innocent, it seems to me that is certainly something noble that a parent could be proud of while still mourning the loss of a loved one.

What a terrible, horrible thing to say ... what do you have against 8 year olds to insult them this way .... this dingbat doesn't have the brains found in a common cabbage
