We ask them to serve for our country, their famliys should be taken car of by us. Our government. steve 83sd

Unfortunately, life doesn't come with any guarantees. Sh|t happens -- it happens all the time. It's somehow comforting to think that we're assured a long and healthy life simply by virtue of birth, but it just ain't so. The loss of life in Iraq is tragic. Each loss carries it with more individual grief and unfortunate circumstance than any of us really want to know. That doesn't mean that these deaths should translate to cash.
