Every fallen soldier is marked with his first name at the position of his home town (where known) or country; upon clicking, more info and a photo is shown (if available).

well, those websites certainly are cool, but do you support the iraqi war yourself? considering the casualitites that it made or that a tryant has been overthrown and the us marines are helping to restore iraq's law and order

No, I don't support it, but I think I am not inclined to discuss this issue here in depth...

I registered with a new nick-name for not influencing your choice, and to be free in your decision
--------



After three years in Iraq.
After thousands of dead and injured soldiers; and still counting.
After billions of dollars spent, not on rebuilding Iraq, but on the war itself; and still counting.



One would pause for a minute and ask oneself with complete honesty;
Shall we get out of Iraq?



Consider this as a poll and vote with sincerity;
Shall we get out of Iraq?
