While we as Americans or in the throughs of the Iraqi war, this is not the first war. We as Americans along with many peoples have done the same thing. We weep over the men and women that we have lost, no matter what conflict it is. It has been since the begining of time and people die!
The question is it worth it? I do not know enough to say for sure.
My Uncles were in WWI, My Father and Uncle were in WWII, and my cousin was in Viet Nam.
Many of my relatives were in many previous wars, R E Lee, the Earp family in The Civil War. G Washington in The Reveluntionary War along some of the Lees.
Is it proper, are we doing the right thing? Who knows until history writes it self when it is all sorted out in History.
Do I hate to see Our Men and Women lose their lives, you damn bet I do!
The men and women who are there feel they are doing some good, now We can only hope it is true and give support for them!
I am sure many of us have Brothers and Sisters over there! Give them your support!
