its a different world over there i know hell i enlisted and ill more then likly see iraq or possibly iran in the next 6-8 months being that i picked a job like infantry i didnt do it for peoples respect i did it because i think its going to be cool as hell to bust down doors and blow shit up (as fucked up as that may sound to some people) as for the death rates yea its not percents which makes it hard to compare i agree with you … however showing the numbers like that well it makes some people think about it a little more. ill try my best to find some accurate numbers on it and try to calculate a percent for people to see.
if you want to start talking baghdad to pittsburgh in reguards to car bombings well fuck lets go totally crazy i bet they dont have AIRPLANES FLYING INTO BUILDING OVER THERE ON PURPOSE as we had on 911 up in new york. at least i havent seen any reports on stuff like that over there.
i bet you didnt know but i believe it was 2 of the top alquida (yes i know i dont know how to spell) top guys were actually found driving around the pittsburgh international airport oo about 8 months ago or so. that didnt make the news did it … of course not it would scare the crap out of everyone.
i understand you dont like bush and im not here to change your mind. however i will say hes not as bad as i believe people think he is. then again one could argue im not all there in the head since after all i do hope to be sent to iraq.
These are the only relevant numbers. No percentages or comparions needed.
2317 Americans are dead because of the war in Iraq.
16653 Americans are wounded because of the war in Iraq.
An estimated 50,000 Iraqi civilians are dead because of the war in Iraq. The very people we are trying to liberate.
$248 Billion dollars spent on the war in Iraq. Thats $2,400 per voter in the last election.

:ugh:
last time I checked airplanes flying into buildings isnt a daily occurance, and has NEVER happened in Pittsburgh. The US has had 3 major terrorist attacks EVER. Iraq has that before lunch. Please STOP with this retarded arguement.
So their lives can be callusly wasted just because they agreed to fight for our country? Its ok that they are dying because they knew it was a possibility going into it? You dont feel bad for the 343 firefighters who died on 9/11 because they knew going into it they’d have to run into burning buildings?
Maybe Iraqi “civilians” should stay in their homes until the issue is fixed.
:ugh:
Most of the civilian casualties are from airstrikes. So most of them were probably in their homes when a bomb fell on it.
I wish people like you would ahve to be drafted
I’d be happy to fight for the defense of my country. The day the Muslims are invading our country I’ll be on my roof with a rifle and a shitload of ammo.
I will not be an inept president’s pawn in the giant game of Risk he thinks he’s playing
we would have to. A sustained occupation in Iran is impossible. Therefore our only real option is airstrikes. However, for regime change you really have to occupy.
Another problem is America is always riding that “bringing freedom and democracy to the middle east” bullshit. Iran has a democratically elected president.
