Alright, I don't really want to argue about this, because I will admit I don't know too much on the subject. I just wanted to say something about your friends that joined the Army. I totally agree with you about the non caring attitude toward human life, and I know that I would be totally devistated if any of my friends were killed, but personally I think that you can't be upset at the government or anyone else for that matter if someone you know gets injured. If you join the military not thinking in the back of your head that you may come out injured, then I think you're ignoring reality. The way I see it, the Army fights wars, that's what it does, so injuries can be expected.

I'm not saying this to you personally, but to people in general who always think it's the goverments fault for injured soldiers.
