And their familes should be proud having laid such a sacrifice on the alter of freedom.
And your assumptiuon of the "lies" has still yet to be proven.
We are talking a country the size of Califorina here, that had a madman who had years to hide his wares that the whole world knew he had(including slick willie).

You're absolutely right. However, were I to put my life on the line for my country (or give up my life for that matter-which I'd gladly do), I'd like it to be for the right reason, and not when it's predicated on a lie/falsehood/exaggeration. Here's another way to look at it, since you brought up bill clinton:
No Marine ever died because of Monica's BJs.
