I Found this and it reallly says something.
Who cares if a Soldier dies?
Take a man and put him alone,
Put him twelve thousand miles from home.
Empty his heart of all but blood,
Make him live in sand, in mud.
This is the life I have to live,
This the soul to God I give.
You have your parties and drink your beer,
While young men and women are dying over here.
Plant your signs on the White House lawn;
"Lets get out of Iraq".
Use your signs and have your fun,
Then refuse to use a gun.
There's nothing else for you to do,
Then I'm supposed to die for you?
There is one thing that you should know;
And that's where I think you should go!
I'm already here and it's too late.
I've traded all my love for all this hate.
I'll hate you till the day I die.
You made me hear my buddy cry.
I saw his leg and his blood shed,
Then I heard them say, "This one's dead".
It was a large price for him to pay,
To let you live another day.
He had the guts to fight and die,
To keep the freedom you live by.
By his dying, your life he buys,
But who gives a ******** if a Soldier dies!

I'll tell u right now, i fully understand the intensity and the author's feelings. i was born into a military family, and i was raised knowing how it felt to lose a family member or loved one to the grip of war. As long as i live, i think that i will always remember that poem. Thanks for posting it.
twisted cool ninja

Aye I see that point of view. Its sad what the civs have become. Id love to kick a few into proper shape and show them who the person they really should be yelling at. Maybe let them yell with a rifle in there hands.

Yes, that's quite a poem. Oooorah...... cry cool
I'm so sick and tired of people complaining about the war in Iraq! All of those people need to STFU, because our armed forces are there for a good reason! I mean look at the good we've done so far! We captured Saddam Hussien, right? 3nodding
