I feel the same as you...but, every once in a while the word "perspective" needs to be used...to put these opportunists, like the dems in their place..
John McCain should KNOW BETTER than to say what he is saying about the war, which makes him MORE guilty of "using" our troops and their deaths as campaign points.
But, of course the Chris Matthews' of the world say stuff every night..that needs some perspective.
Of course, I would rather NO American military people die in war...all of us on FR feel that way..but, also think of the almost 45,000 families that had to grieve over the death of at least one loved on last year, due to a traffic accident..
He is not above exploiting our present troops, dead and alive, for his own political purposes.
