One of the things that people, Rat Voters, don't realize is that most Troops don't die from gun shot wounds, John Wayne type of stuff, but from accidents and having chunks of flesh blown from their bodies by IED's.

War is not a pretty thing, winning is and justifies the sacrifice.

War is not a pretty thing, winning is and justifies the sacrifice.

Indeed.

What's "troubling" are the number of Congressmorons and other lunatics who have a plan ala the ISG's to assure that the United States loses the war in Iraq and the war against terrorism. They would waste the lives of those who have already died and trivialize the heroic efforts of those who have lost arms and legs. The purpose of war is to win by killing the enemy as fast as possible, and that's what we should be doing now, using whatever resources it takes to finish the job.
The U.S., with a population of 300 million and the strongest economy in the world by far, has the means to win in Iraq, and to win the global war against terrorists.
