It's their own risk, but they can't control what the brass decides to do. In the end, they are helping people. Not all of Iraq hates us. As any soldier who has fought. THe way most Iraqi's feel is not the way the media has us belive. Some actually LIKE us being there.
For those of you who don't support the troops, has anyone you know (family or friend) gone to fight? I doubt it. I've lived through it twice now. You don't know what it's like to not support them until you see how much they really need us here at home.
