How is it an absurd statement? I never hear professing conservatives question why we went into places like Vietnam or Somalia, much less admit that it might have been wrong to do so.

The problem is that no one ever bothers to stop and question why our sons and daughters are dying.

The statement is absurd because it is sweeping in scope (NO one ever bothers), and it implies that military families just send their sons and daughters willy nilly into wars that they haven't thought about.

It makes absolutely no sense unless you are presuming that military parents, spouses, and members of the military themselves are shallow and stupid.

Of COURSE conservatives question why 'our sons and daughters are dying.' Just because you personally 'never hear' what you want to hear doesn't mean that your assessment is valid. It isn't, and your subsequent reasoning and conclusions are a complete distortion of reality.

Like I said.......absurd.
