//A death for nothing.

EnviroDude: That's a lot of soldiers that died while under the direction of POTUS Obama. You didn't hear much about them, did you?

I'm glad you're stupid enough to troll even this thread.

That war was a huge waste of life and money and as the last troops were leaving the place the attack Iran rhetoric gets ratcheted up.

EnviroDude: you need to ask CBSNBCNNABC why they backed off their coverage, not me.

Too bad for your conspiracy theory that coverage of troop deaths started to wane before Obama got into office...

We can all take some comfort in knowing his loved ones were mailed a flag.

snuff3r: Let's not forget the 105,000+ documented Iraqi civilian deaths either.

All wasted life.

b-b-b-but twin towers!!

/ where's a f*cking toilet...I'm going to be sick.

Hero?? What's heroic about that? Not a goddamn thing. What a farking waste. Thanks GW!!

Thank you President Bush for saving our freedoms.

Fair trial and a hangin'

What do you mean it was a waste? The super rich prospered at incredible levels during this for-profit Bush war.

/GOP silver lining?

The last man to die over a mistake.

RIP, soldier. See you in the next life.

Shoulda been 0.

/War Criminals: Saddam, Bin Laden, Gaddafi...
//Still at Large: Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Powell, Rice.

It made some people a whole farkton of money.

There's nothing heroic about being a political pawn.

Yeah, and it still wasn't worth it.

F***ing asshole.

"And the question in my mind is how many additional American casualties is Saddam worth? And the answer is not very damned many. So I think we got it right, both when we decided to expel him from Kuwait, but also when the president made the decision that we'd achieved our objectives and we were not going to go get bogged down in the problems of trying to take over and govern Iraq."

-Dick Cheney

Even Cheney knew what a waste the invasion of Iraq was. It was too bad he was too much of a sociopath to care.

Well of course. Those lives mean nothing to him if they can't be used to advance his political agenda.

Kind of like how pulling out of iraq is not smart even now but seems to be happening because its an election year?

I hated this war from the start but there is going to be a civil war over there and then we wait to see if iran is stupid enough to try and invade them again.

Personal view was we should have never been in iraq and I liked having another crazy dictator so close to iran to keep them in check.

Another person dead fighting a worthless and barbaric volunteer only war... Hm.

I haven't really come across the former reaction from anyone, and I was in the army during that time period. If anyone here called soldiers baby killers, he was obviously trolling.

Well, if anyone is deserving of the HERO tag...

Githerax: There's nothing heroic about being a political pawn.

Nope, there isn't. Sad thing is that every military member since 1900 (and possibly earlier) has been a political pawn. Check out Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket".

special20: EnviroDude: you need to ask CBSNBCNNABC why they backed off their coverage, not me.

No, you need to stop being a douche in this thread. The very idea of trying to inflame others on a sad topic that deserves respect and reverence... you're not an American. Go back to Trollvanistan.

No, you are just brainwashed into thinking that blind obedience and reverence for volunteers fighting a massively stupid war of their own accord is the only way to be American.

snuff3r: Let's not forget the 105,000+ documented Iraqi civilian deaths either.

How come American soldiers and Iraqi civilians are the only wasted lives? Iraqi soldiers don't count? Remember, Iraq didn't do the invading.

While every death is tragic, there is somehow a poignancy to being the last one. In particular it is always cruel when it seems like you're going to make it (only a couple weeks from the end of your tour or station). He was probably already imagining Christmas at home.

The thing that gets me most is that these are very fine people. Looking at him in that picture you can tell that he could have really done something with the rest of his life, especially when American needs some upstanding young people to get the economy and optimism back on track.

// peace to all of you

I've heard a lot of coverage of this for the past month, with a lot of journalists asking soldiers "Was is worth it?"

Mostly, officers refuse to answer of change the subject.

Mostly, enlisted men say something like "Yes, because if it wasn't my freinds died for nothing."

I haven't heard anyone say Iraq or the US is better off.

Bull farking shiat.

I hope this is right (that no more soldiers will die there) - but they are on stand-by in Kuwait and will likely be heading back in for "security" reasons. Also, there are still a whole mess of US personnel still in Iraq, and are now more exposed - so I fear that instead of this being the "last" - it will only be the first of the rest of the casualties.

It certainly didn't give a boost to our economy like WW2 did...

So does accuracy. If you review the stories about US casualties in Iraq, you will find a predominance of the Hero tag, no matter who was in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. The only "zero" I see here is your credibility.
