How about this, Dave? I think it was Napoleon (not sure) that said it best:
"[I needn't remind you men that purpose of being in the military service of this great nation isn't to die for your country; it is to make the other guy die for his!]"
POINT: The aim of war isn't for anybody to die. That's the sad byproduct.
(looks at the dirty Velcro flag on his faded ACUs)
I don't think I'd die for that, really. Not in the end. Not in this dumbass "war" on terrorism. Seems like you'd die protecting your yourself or your brothers.
American soldiers aren't some god's warriors.
