The war in Iraq is not "fighting for my freedom". Iraq was never a threat to neither my freedom nor my life. I will NEVER fight any war because I personally do not have the capability to kill someone as it goes against everything I believe in.
You can believe you are fighting for "freedom" all you like, but in reality you are putting your life at risk for a individual who wouldn't give a shit less whether you live or die.
As for your comment about praising soldiers had it been another war, you are wrong. I will never praise any soldier (murderer) for any excuse they use to kill for. I personally would rather die myself than kill another...at least that way I know my soul wont be in for eternal suffering.
Go ahead and consider them heroic or consider them courageous, but I don’t believe murder constitutes any of those qualities. Being heroic or courageous would be to resist war and have the will power and wisdom to understand killing is wrong.
EDIT: As a side note: I am not religious at all, as I believe ultimately, religion is the root of all evil...but I do know the difference between right and wrong.

Someday I hope that both war and the soldiers that fight in them will be proven unneccessary, however until then I find it apalling that you could be so disrespectful towards the individuals that are sacrificing so much. This thread was started to think about, pray for, or mourn the loss of ALL people that have lost thier lives. To say that any group doesn't deserve our thoughts and sympathy is simply disturbing.
