Originally posted by UncleAdamThe photo is taken from an internet news site, I think Boby was making the point that all the lives lost during the war are of the same intrinsic value. Yes the marine sacrificed his life, and although he may have believed he was soldiering for someone's freedom, or to protect the US, or perhaps just so he could afford college, it is simply not the case that the point of the invasion and occupation was to either liberate the Iraqi people or to make the US more secure.
