Trick is not to die for your cause but to make the other son-of-a-bitch die for his.
For the general Iraqi populous, freedom in it's largest, most encompassing definition, is worth killing for. I happen to agree with them. I was happy to help them remove some zealots from the gene-pool.
Let me analyse what you are saying.
You talk about causes. All fighting is done by people who had no say in the decision to fight.They then are put in a position of kill or be killed . Occasionally, this is justified e.g to defeat fascism. But having said that, lots of Germans were pressed into fighting for fascism, against their better judgement.
Very few causes are worth fighting for, that's my proposition.
Iraq and Afghanistan are certainly not.
Iraq could have been sorted without the massive loss of life, devastation and waste of billions of dollars, but your president decided otherwise, aided by our prime minister. They are war criminals in my book.
Afghanistan is your latest Vietnam, and ours, tragically.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
