1st Month in 7 Years- No Military Casualties in March

[Stonedtone]

Good sign. We'll see how well Afghanistan does this weekend in their elections and how well their able to secure the state, as the US pulls out. No Americans should die in the middle east. Lets hope this is something that will continue

I had a friend that died there cause of 'friendly fire' he was the only one in his unit that died, it was horrible.

His mother was a wreck and to this day you can see she is still affected by it, ppl not personally affected by this just see statistics but ppl who have a suffered a loss because of this see more than that.

i would like to add your statement of "No american should die in the middle east' that no one should die in this bullsh*t war, i don't see americans crying for the innocent civilians they killed, comes with the job however if one of their boys fall uncle sam sheds a tear.

Now im not defending them terrorist, that's not the issue, the issue is i think beyond which side you fight for each human life should be equally valuable.

I know im a dreamer but im not the only one.

(seriously though, im on your side america.. plz don't waterboard me.)

In theory yeah, but I've got a buddy who last time I heard was in the Coast Guard in Iraq. If you exchange "Coast Guard" with "Army" and "Iraq" with "Afghanistan", and ask me if I'm willing to allow drone strikes into Pakistan to keep him alive and with all limbs intact then yeah I am.

People are still human and when you are in the middle of action accidents happen. It's easy to say what you are saying while you are sitting comfortably at home but it's different when there are bullets flying by you.

The bomb was dropped on Hiroshima because the Japanese islands were defended by 2 million strong in preparation of an inevitable pending invasion by America and its allies.

Japan was not even close to the capacity of invading the US, at that time.

Isn't about being a victim for me. My concern for my friends and my own just trumps my concern for people I've never met and will likely never meet. Simple as that.

You do realize we stayed out of WWI and WWII till we had a reason to enter it right?

The word bully is a little misplaced here.

This ^.
Also, Japan may have looked impressive from a technological standpoint, but they were still living in the ****ing dark ages where their leader was perceived to be a god. I'm sure everybody knows about the suicidal tactics employed by Japanese soldiers; they would ram their own planes into U.S. battleships if they had no other options.
The bloodshed would have been HORRENDOUS! It would have taken months to secure the island.

You don't have to be there to know what it's like.

About 30 percent of the men and women who have spent time in war zones experience PTSD

PTSD is post-traumatic stress disorder. You can look it up if you want. The U.S. has a Government Website specifically for people to go to learn about PTSD, if that doesn't tell you how bad it is. It's run by the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.
