So they hit one of our mess halls, i'm glad you remember that. Do you also remember the countless times Iraqi soldiers were killed waiting to get paychecks, sign up, ect? Of course not it is the 1 time it happens to Americans then we hear about it.
As for the rest of you post please explain to me how imature quips further the discussion?

I don't know what news cast you are watching but there is reporting every single day of the American and Iraqi KIA. As for remembering, I don't remember every single incident that killed Americans let alone the Iraqis, that would be almost physically impossible and I doubt you remember them all so your point is ??????? While I admit I have a certain admiration for the Iraqis for being brave and taking the risk they take to make their country a better place I feel their KIA is no better than our KIA. Do you not feel our soldiers are equally as brave? After all, they are literally laying it on the line every day and some sacrifice it all for complete strangers to make Iraq a better place. Is there anything important enough in your life that you feel passionate enough about and would be willing to sacrifice it all for? Or do you just sit around in security of your armchair all day feeling sorry for Iraqis who are willing to sacrifice everything they have for freedom and the promise of a better tomorrow? I think both the Iraqis and Americans over there laying it on the line every day deserve our equal support.
