I had a friend that died there cause of 'friendly fire' he was the only one in his unit that died, it was horrible.
His mother was a wreck and to this day you can see she is still affected by it, ppl not personally affected by this just see statistics but ppl who have a suffered a loss because of this see more than that.
i would like to add your statement of "No american should die in the middle east' that no one should die in this bullsh*t war, i don't see americans crying for the innocent civilians they killed, comes with the job however if one of their boys fall uncle sam sheds a tear.
Now im not defending them terrorist, that's not the issue, the issue is i think beyond which side you fight for each human life should be equally valuable.
I know im a dreamer but im not the only one.
(seriously though, im on your side america.. plz don't waterboard me.)
