Who Cares if A Soldier Dies?

Who Cares if A Soldier Dies?

Take a man and put him alone,
Put him twelve thousand miles from home.

Empty his heart of all but blood,
Make him live in sand, in mud.

This is the life I have to live,
This the soul to God I give.

You have your parties and drink your beer,
While young men are dying over here.

Plant your signs on the White House lawn;
"Lets get out of Iraq".

Use your signs and have your fun,
Then refuse to use a gun.

There's nothing else for you to do,
Then I'm supposed to die for you?

There is one thing that you should know;
And that's where I think you should go!

I'm already here and it's too late.
I've traded all my love for all this hate.

I'll hate you till the day I die.
You made me hear my buddy cry.

I saw his leg and his blood shed,
Then I heard them say, "This one's dead".

It was a large price for him to pay,
To let you live another day.

He had the guts to fight and die,
To keep the freedom you live by.

By his dying, your life he buys,
But who cares if a Soldier dies?

Um, asshat, did you completely miss the point of that poem? Heck, did you miss the line "I'll hate you to the day I die"? He was referring to the idiots who are protesting this and making OUR SOLDIERS' job harder, by giving comfort to the enemy, fueling their thoughts that they're doing the "right thing" in fighting the "evil" United States.

Friggin' hippies...

Oh, and to quote Ronald Reagan:

"Let's set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace; and you can have it in the next second... surrender."

I have just about had it up to HERE with the New York Times. These people are encouraging treason, and it's costing lives.
