Pfc. Austin's death raises the question, "What if we were aware of every soldier's casket?" A nation at war should feel more at war.

No, it shouldn't. If this country felt like it was at war, there would be even more cries for us to pull out of the mideast and allow that craphole to continue festering. To say that we should feel more at war assumes that people in this country would give a damn about contributing to the effort and that people would care about the outcome. Most people would only hop on the leftist defeatist bandwagon of whining and griping about mistakes made 3 years ago and focusing on what domestic political opportunities arise from it.

You hit the nail on the head. With the liberals turning every soldier's death into a political ad for pulling out of Iraq, such an action would only help the terrorists.

Man, what I would give for the Greates Generation to be around nowadays to support this war wholeheartedly, just as they supported WW2. Instead, we have to see leftists and anti-American freaks do everything they can to make America lose.

Sad to say that you are right. It's hard not to become angry in a big way at lot of American's who buy in to the left wing garbage that comes out of a lot of politicians and medias mouths. There are a lot of idiots out there who behave as if my son in Iraq is serving a prison sentence of is the victim of a crime. It's getting more difficult by the day to keep a civil tongue when I'm approached by these jerks. They think they are giving sympathy when they are only helping the enemy.
