[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 1355075, member: 13624"] Well, without debating the necessity of going to Iraq in the first place (Afghanistan was righteous), who decides what is necessary? Battlefield commanders? Senior brass? Civilian leadership? Courts? By what standards do they render a decision? If we're fighting for freedom, and the 1st Amendment is a core tenet of our freedom, then is it necessary to risk a few lives for a greater principle? What about criminal activity? Should we ignore any crimes committed, from the 11B to the President, if investigating that crime would risk another soldier? Does avoiding retribution justify keeping My Lai secret, rather than prosecuting the evildoers? These are not easy questions, and they cannot be answered with a duckspeak soundbite like "no risk, no matter what." [/QUOTE]
