Reply to "Why I DON'T Support Our Troops..."

I am of the opinion that we have overstepped our boundaries in Iraq. We are woefully mistaken to think there can ever be peace between the Middle Eastern Countries. I do think you are correct in that there are numerous hidden agendas and some that may never come to light. However, I find it hard to condemn and excuse their deaths and dismemberment as just some form of stupidity on their part.
People make their own choices true. But the reasons you stated for their decisions to join the military were just vastly understated. It would be great if life was just as simple as black and white, smart and dumb, etc. my point is that whether agreed on by you or not there are numerous reasons why someone chooses their path. For no other reason that right to be able to choose should be respected - not ridiculed.
I don't want to argue with you. I would just like you to see that as civility calls for- understanding rationale that you, yourself, can't fathom should still be respected as a single independent decision. Not just a sweeping generaliztion of a whole brigade or military unit. Simply stated I am just asking you to rethink your statment. It is a generic reference to a very large group of people that you know nothing about other than they made a decision based on reasons you don't know and don't understand and don't agree with. If I read your statements correctly you are basically saying "OK, they are too dumb to realize that they are Lemmings sent off to commit suicide. So, according to the laws of nature let the strongest and smartest survive. No big deal to me." I think its the apathy on your part for them to make your point about the war that both angers me and scares me at the same time.
