Paul Revere we call to have heroes to inspire us through. We call them heroes, but they don't think they are.

@FireOvRenewal no they not fools, I didn't call them heros, they don't call themselves heros, they fight to protect their fellow soldiers.

@BdoubleBrad as Evan Wright once wrote, "It struck me that such analyses had it backward. It’s the American public for whom the Iraq War is often no more real than a video game. Five years into this war, I am not always confident most Americans fully appreciate the caliber of the people fighting for them, the sacrifices they have made, and the sacrifices they continue to make. After the Vietnam War ended, the onus of shame largely fell on the veterans. This time around, if shame is to be had when the Iraq conflict ends - and all indications are there will be plenty of it - the veterans are the last people in America to deserve it. When it comes to apportioning shame my vote goes to the American people who sent them to war in a surge of emotion but quickly lost the will to either win it or end it. The young troops I profiled in Generation Kill, as well as the other men and women in uniform I’ve encountered in combat zones throughout Iraq and Afghanistan, are among the finest people of their generation. We misuse them at our own peril."

@Gibixhegu30 we don't kill kids on purpose, btw a veteran friend of mine said that a kid was manning a machine gun with his mom waiting for the US troops to get into the kill zone. Btw, I ask who decides where engagements took place in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US or the insurgents?
