They have not died in vain.

Where is this divide between sacrifice and waste?

How will we recognize it ?

Is the first name on The Wall greater then the last?

"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced."

...I couldn’t CARE LESS WHAT “YOU” “like”, The TRUTH hurts doesn’t it.

In case you didn't notice, my comment was not directed toward you, Mkay.

(Congressman, White House at odds over OBL film) This film must not ever see the light of day in the next five years. It is a piece of political trash which puts SEALS and their families at risk. Obama is far from being naïveté about the danger here, he I think is inviting it just as he almost had our warriors pay for their own medical care....Obama is NOT protecting our SEALS, he is exploiting them - Obama is one cold fish who must leave office ASAP or we are doomed.

The simple answer is when a nation fights to win.

Evidently SEAL deaths are more important than non SEALS deaths, I think the author also made the mistake of including 5 sailors that were not SEALs.

“We believe that peace is at hand.” – Henry Kissinger, October 26, 1972

A line should be placed on The Wall at 26 Oct 72 ?

What of the wounded who hangs on past the date and succumbs?

Would this only be in a just war?

Who makes the call?
