I'll admit that sometimes soldier-worship gets a bit out of hand. Honestly, its a bit absurd to call every soldier a hero, just like playing games where everyone is a winner. Soldiers however, should not be treated anywhere near this blatant disrespect some people seem to have, like supporting the murder of American troops. Whether we agree with the cause or not, American soldiers have protected this country and have been an integral part in why we are so great. And, the US military is still the supreme ass-kicking force in the world, so that we can both maintain our own quality of life and help improve that of others. Regardless of what you think about the conflict, soldiers are really just other Americans like us. Many have their faults, some are probably jerks, but overall they're good people doing their job. And that job often requires the risk of getting killed. So lets treat our brothers in arms with respect. To our troops, I wholeheartedly salute you.
