So, I support the troops inasmuch that I support people not dying even if they made some bad decisions to be there.

so that means you support the people our troops are fighting too, right?

I support pretty much minimizing the amount of deaths regardless of nationality or side of the fight.

I'm not gonna lie, I have certain patriotic feelings and empathy for Americans that make me value an American soldier's life more than an Iraqi soldier. But I'm pretty sure 99.9% of Americans feel the same way.

i think a good rule of thumb is that if the majority of america thinks something then you should seriously consider going the opposite way.

in this case you don't even have to use this convenient rule of thumb. imaginary lines and being randomly born in a certain place shouldn't be the only reason to value one human's life over another's.
