It's not a sacrifice if the military is a volunteer force. For them it's a personal risk, and for us it's a national price. It shows how pitiful you know your position is if you have to mischaracterize the issue in your very first sentence.
And BTW, this price is better than sacrificing the only modern democracy in the region for cheap oil.
Not really, the world has little to lose if that "democracy" ceases to exist. I'd take cheap oil over Israel any day.
