The best you could say about it would be to call it a push. O' should have said that no children are being sacrificed. Instead, it is brave men and women giving their lives for the sake of freedom. To call them sacrificed children dishonors them. Someone said O' isn't really a good interviewer. That's true. He's better at investigating and pontificating than debating. During the tense interviews he comes off as arrogant and just basically full of hot air and often gets knocked off balance. If it had been Mark Levin, he would have danced all over Moore's scraggly face.

I think I'll wait until I see the whole interview before making any conclusions. Of course, Moore just opens his mouth and that alone will him to hang himself.

You're right that using the word "sacrifice" is perverted in context. As General Patton said, paraphrasing -- If a person joined ready to give up his life he should join the other side.

People join so that they may live! And so that their families and countrymen may live, So that innocents may live, so that slaves may be freed and grevious injustice corrected.

Damn it all -- not one thought of being in it for "sacrifice" should enter and sustain in one's mind Not the soldier, seaman, or airmen, or other person serving at some risk of life. And that includes many people in many professions. Say roofers -- a dangerous job, or tree-climbers --- iirc, tree-climbing is THE most dangerous of duties, of jobs, of professions.

In terms of mortality, btw, even serving in Iraq is less a danger than living, say, in Gary, Indiana.
