Why American soldiers so motivated &willing to die for President Bush without questioning?

they aren't motivated to die for President Bush necessarily.  they're willing to die for YOU.  To protect the freedoms and democracy that you take for granted every day.  A soldier joins the military in order to serve and protect his or her country.  They're not doing it because they necessarily WANT to die, but it is a risk that they are more than willing to take.  They do it to keep you safe.  \nNext time you see a military member in uniform at the store, at McDonald's, or whatever, you should thank them, because even if they aren't in Iraq, haven't been to Iraq, or probably won't even go to Iraq, they are still making a huge difference in your life, and you don't even realize it.

Hmmm, well; I don't know the details but still I can not fathom why someone would be denied that if they were ready and willing to die for the benefit of their Country. Yes it is appalling, and I'm not Christian so perhaps I'm more open to this than a Christian would be; yet I've found many Christians to be quite reasonable so I find this somewhat baffling. I think I shall look into this a little more.

Our most honored Presidents were those that had fought in wars or served in the military. \nGeorge Bush is too much of a coward to risk his life for anything. He gets our kids to do it for him. He sure keeps his girls protected and under wraps.\nThe only way he knows how to handle anything is by listening to his cronies like fat pig spitting Rove. I am sure Rove is behind his sudden conversion to a 'real' Christian that talks directly to God.

Because america is more concerned with there own people. I was in the army, and i was in Iraq last year. I personally feeel that people are dying on both sides for no reason.

War mentality never does make sense, but in this case, it is like you just lost two members of your immediate family, you would normally suffer a heavy grief, but if the same two people were just some mentioned in a newspaper obituary from a place your family did not live, you might feel a twinge of sympathy, but usually not much more.\n\nP.S. As was mentioned by some, the torture and death of the two soldiers, I ask you to consider this. bush made sure that any and all of the insurgents captured in this war were not considered prisoners of war (which would require humane treatment), so that the captured prisoners could be tortured during questioning, or shuttled around to holding facilities in countries who have solid records of using torture in interrogation. This President condones using anything necessary to find his enemy and that includes torture, suppression of Constitutional rights for Americans, and more. When you fight a dirty battle, expect that the other side will do the same.

You are right, the theory being; once they begin to pick sides their allegiance to the commander in chief might be altered or diminished.\n\nBut the military can't win that fight due to the freedom of choice thing we have going on.\n\nHow a soldier feels politically, is a good question. When I was a soldier, I would have based my feelings on the way I was fed that day. Or perhaps, how rude my platoon leader was!

like it or not, soldiers are tools, not unlike the M16s they carry. it is their job to be used. listen little-mind, how long are you gonna hide behind terrorist fear and big oil BS? Remember 9/11 jerk0ff? 3000 innocents dead? It is more than big oil in Iraq... Prisons were emptied, we stopped the filling of mass graves, which already contained 300,000 corpses.  The soldiers have established a military and intelligence base on the borders of two terrorist states – Syria and Iran. It has diverted the terrorist enemy to a battlefield thousands of miles AWAY from Washington and New York and other American cities which have consequently not suffered another terrorist attack since September 2001. people like you would love another attack here wouldn't you? oh, it would serve bush and those that voted for him their just deserts! screw you.\nsoldiers have ideals that guide them. they have beautiful fearlessness and strength.  "It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived." --Gen. George S Patton

Been there, done that, Viet Nam.  The extreme right thinks you can do no wrong and the extremem left thinks you can do no right.  As I looked over the answeres here, just like in American society the majority of people will support you.  A soldier does not have a blank check to do what he wants during a war and is always responsible for what he does.  You state your feelings excellently and it is impossible for those who have never been through a combat experience to know what you are going through in your thoughts and in the actions you have to perfrom during combat.  You must  live with your experiences the rest of your life.  No, it is not easy being a soldier and I pray that you have made the right decisions in your experiences.  I would never judge you and neither should anyone else except God. You sound like the kind of soldier that all of America can be proud of.  Always do the right thing and don't worry about people that want to condemn you, they don't really count.

Well, you heard the responses from the brave Americans who sit in their homes and have prejudged you to be an Al Quida member, many of these guys must have avoided the draft or military services and are now speaking brave words-they are not a conquered nation, they are the conquering hero's (villains actually, where are the WMD's) and will speak with reflected glory.\n\nIt is indeed brave to kill an enemy who is probably a baby or a woman nursing a baby form far off by carpet bombing. Well the woman was nursing wasn't she, feeding a potential enemy of the US of A?\n\nChildren, and spoiled children thats most of the above answerer's are, Shame on you and your country! War is wrong, of any sort, and especially for fabricated reasons - you can't control the oil in any other way, the US can't, so it turns global bully!\n\nI am not an Iraqi or a Muslim. I admire the USA, but for their acts  on Iraq, there is nothing but contempt!\nst

It's all about the oil. Bush and his minons could care less about the religion (Islam). Bush is a lap dog of the rich and powerful. Bush doesn't care how many American and Allied Soliders are killed. He doesn't care if innocent civilians are killed. He is the reason America and Americans are hated all over the world.\n\nCorrection: Bush is the reason why American are hated EVEN more around the world especailly in the Middle East.\n\nBy the way...there is civil war in Iraq so our soliders are caught in the middle while the oil companies make their money.

I can think of three reasons for someone not to support the troops. First they could be morally against war and don't believe that anyone should be a soldier. \nSecondly there is the popular image of the soldier as someone not too bright who cares nothing for the reasons for a conflict and just wants an excuse to kill and blow things up. If that is how you think about them you would be unlikely to support them.\nThirdly it is difficult to show support in such a way as not to seem to also support the politics leading to the war.

I'm very glad I voted for President Bush a second time. Of course no rational person would be happy over the deaths of American soldiers (with the exception of some liberals here in the US). I wonder why you blame Bush for their deaths instead of the foreign terrorists inside Iraq that are killing them and causing that country so much grief.

Because bush take america to war with a false reason which americans believe is true although they are also a sufferer\nand the war gives  a high fuel price around the globe because of fuel price transportatoin cost increased and for that reason we all have to pay a high price for everything.\nBush and company got big contract for his war projects so they end up with a huge income \nIf still american love Mr.bush and elect him or his bro\nAround the globe rest of us we have to find a jungle and learn how to live like a Tarzan

I am an atheist but c'mon man, I am proud of american soldiers despite of all that. Please respect them, for them having sacrificed their lives for millions of others. And don't listen to a guy named George Bush.

thanks for asking this question! I'm in the US Air Force, and it's awesome to see the support of all the people listed above.  we fight for you, for our families, for your families, and we want to keep this nation free for our kids, for your kids.  We're willing to die for you any day, and not many people realize that, so thanks for your support!

You IDIOT.........all those fine  young men and women have\n   volunteered to serve their Country.....unlike you other wimps\n   that would be scared to death to go.  Pres. Bush has not sent\n   anyone as there is no war draft these days.....they ended many\n   years ago when other Presidents did tell our fine young men\n   and women they had to go fight for this Country. God Bless our\n   servicemen who think this terrorist-free nation is worth fighting\n   for.  Down with all you who only see the bad side of war....war]\n   is hell and always has been, but that's why we are still a free\n   country and you're allowed to blame the president,is because\n   of these brave servicepeople  who fought & died for it.

His IQ is that high?  Amazing how its the cowards like Bush who ask other people's children, husbands, fathers, wives, and daughters to die in a war he wouldn't fight in if he were young enough to serve.  Those who risk (or risked) their lives because of the actions of a deranged commander-in-chief have my respect and admiration because they're only following orders.   Like Vietnam, this is no civil war and we're only sending people to die to stop the spread of.....whatever it is they're there for.   Time to bring the troops home.
