Vlad, I don't think it's for you to put "the bright side" and death together. There are plenty of others who bring facetious speech like yours into action every day. And the same goes for the other side, who wish death on the US and those allied with it.

please stop equating innocent american lives with those of murderous primitive savages. thx so much...

"An Army investigation that implicates civilian contractors, including San Diego's Titan Corp., in the abuse and torture of Iraqi prisoners has intensified the debate over outsourcing the business of war"

Line Increasingly Blurred Between Soldiers and Civilian Contractors

By Ariana Eunjung Cha and Renae Merle
Washington Post Staff Writers
Thursday, May 13, 2004; Page A01


While on missions in Iraq last year, 35-year-old Todd Drobnick was attacked by small-arms fire, grenades and makeshift bombs. Yet he continued to go out day after day, until he died in a vehicle crash on his way from one U.S. military base to another. For his loyalty and dedication, he was posthumously awarded a Purple Heart and Bronze Star.


Thousands of Americans in Iraq have received such honors, but Drobnick's case was unusual: He wasn't a soldier. He was a private contractor working with a translation company.

"He died in the service of his country and the gratitude of his comrades is deep and lasting," U.S. Army Col. Gary L. Parrish, assistant chief of staff of intelligence, wrote in a letter to Drobnick's family after his death.

Several other contractors have received battlefield commendations in Iraq, too, but the military says it was a mistake. Only active-duty soldiers are eligible for the awards and those received by civilians are being rescinded.

The confusion demonstrates that in many situations soldiers and civilian contractors have become virtually indistinguishable -- and interchangeable -- in postwar Iraq.


now you please stfu...

Thoughts like this make the world go around in circles. Trace this conflict, its beginnings, its means, and its fighters, and you'll find yourself wondering who's really the perpetrator and who's the victim, who's truly the murderer and the savage and who's the innocent. In the end, it doesn't really matter... no one knows the difference. Leaders are quick to accuse, and the people who listen to them are quick to kill. Who the fuck needs reason or peace anymore?? For fuck's sake... it all goes around in circles and it's never gonna stop. People can't break their cycle of thought. I don't even know what to say about this anymore... my thoughts can't be expressed... enough.

ahahahah lee, read your post AGAIN. you are so contributing to my point!!! (thanks)

"He wasn't a soldier. He was a private contractor working with a translation company."

TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.

so, if a maid who cleans solidiers quarters works on base- that makes her part of the military? lol get a clue...and take some spelling lessons FFS! your spelling and your arguments make you seem uneducated.


KTHANXBYE!!!!!
