What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

And these people sacrificed for what? Bush's ego? pnacs master plan?
Iraq wasnt a current threat to the US and the amount of money we have wasted could have feed the worlds children for 5 years, shoot we could have bought other countries to do the job for us for 1 trillion dollars and not lose our own children.
There is still a small percentage that says "stay the course" and i say FOr what? what reason could there be.
I know it is a mess but they think it will be better without us
they dont want us there
it isnt our job to build their country despite we destroyed it
it is our job to support them and protect their weakened country from take over and such
But why are we dying over there?
And why arent the hawks sacrificng anything?

The US has a volunteer army.

They chose to honorably serve in the military. You may not like the war, but it's their choice in the end and they (obviously) believe in serving in the military and serving in the conflicts that their commanders order them to.

They chose to serve, but that does not mean we do not have a responsibility to only put them into harms way when it is necessary. It also does not mean that we do not have a responsibility to stop any operations which unjustly put them into harms way.
In the context of my first two points, your comments appear to mean that we should not care about the lives of those in the military. You seem to be making the point that they signed up for this sort of thing so it is no skin off your back when they die for the wrong reason.
