I hear what you're saying, but you should understand something:
It is a soldiers job to fight for his country and his people, to the death if necessary. This is a soldier's purpose in life. It is arrogant, patronizing and condescending to imply that a soldier doesn't know what he is getting himself into when he signs up for service. Don't you think soldiers want to live, too? Do you think they join the service because they want to die a horrible death in a foreign land, away from friends and family?
I wonder why it is that you don't want american soldiers to die?
What do you know better than the fighting men know?
Have you experienced war yourself? Do you know what it's like?
Who are you to tell a soldier he doesn't know his business?
Are you sure you just don't want them following the war orders of their commanders? ARE YOU SURE?
