Forwarded words of an angry soldier:
>"This message is to all who feel that we should just go out and 'wipe the
enemies out'. You're all aghast >at the loss of the lives in the
terrorist incedents yesterday however you're more than willing to risk the
>lives of more of our us citizens by sending in our military to try to get
rid of the terrorists? Do you not >think that we soldiers have families too?
do you think that the thought of us deploying to a certian >deathzone
doesn't terrify our loved ones just as much if not more than the loss of the
loved ones in the >incedents? we are people too and don't deserve to have
our lives thrown away by someone else that doesn't >have the intestinal
fortitude to stand along side us and dodge bullets with us.....I for one
think that if >there are any of you out there that think that we should
hunt them down and kill them that you should be the >ones going and doing it
and not those of us that are here to try to defend our families and not to
go on a >stupid manhunt that's going to lead to another world war. Forward
THAT to everyone you know....if you care >about the value of human life
you'll realize that we soldiers are humans too and have families that will
>suffer just the same.
