What every argument boils down to concerning the "War"
This can hold for Pat Tillman, the extended tours of duty, the changes in policy which allow for involuntary recalls, the use of Wille P in Fallujah, the destruction of 60,000 marriages, the deaths of over a half million Iraqis and a whole host of issues which are "debated".

There is a segement of society which has embaced a disgusting and perverted form of Utilitarianism belief. That, somehow, when adding up the credits and debits of Bush's War the end good result will outweigh all the death, heartbreak, pain, murder, rape, angusih, loss and sorrow.

Listen to the members of the Regime, To them the sacrifice is always worth it.

Read what Freepers (and other less insane war supporters) write about Tillman, "In every modern war, commanders have tried to write comforting letters home to parents of soldiers killed in the service."

Many who have no "skin the game" can wax about who brave and noble our military is, why not they won't get a 5am wake-up visit from the Chaplain, http://thinkprogress.org/2007/04/26/kristol-military-wife/

Sadly, like a pimp, their constant propaganda can allow them to control grieving family members, forcing those people to abandon rational thought and defend the admin which killed their loved one. After all who wants to believe their son died for hegemonic control of a regions resources. Bravely defending Freedom is so much more comforting.

And so we are left with those who hold the future of Tomorrow Morrow Land will be so golden and bright all the death and darkness will be as a comma...
