Yes it is, and I can tell you that is exactly why so many combat veterans support Ron Paul.
Probably a sound point about Paul, there are a lot of vets who support him.
Everyone knows they might die for a military objective. But today, a soldier, marine, or USBP man 30 miles from nowhere on the desert gets in a firefight,,
The government swings viciously into action to imprison you, by getting witness statements from Iraqis who live with the insurgents, or from cartel members given green cards.
This is creating an environment where men armed by our government cannot just do their duty, knowing the government would go to big lengths to protect them. Now they must also do their duty AND make sure they can survive the attack from behind as well.
It’s a disgrace.
