I see what you're saying bitsurfer, but when you get thrown into a situation where either you die or someone else dies, there will be some drastic measures taken. I'm not saying that I've ever knowingly been in a life or death situation aside from car wrecks, but I've been in some hectic scraps and you've got decisions to make. The best thing to do is get out, but if you can't then you have to fight your way out. Such is the position of most of our troops over there. I don't believe that they all want to be over there, but you can bet that they aren't going to lay down and let their lives be plucked from their bodies either. DAMN these political threads! This world was built on war and will die by war. It's that simple. A very large percentage of people live on land and live lifestyles that they do as a result of war or hostile invasions. That lifestyle can be good or bad, but the fact remains that it has happened. I'm no history major, but I do know that the United States was not developed peacefully, nor were too many other states/cultures.
