4. Seperate the soldier from the policy makers.

Chris Hayes has every right to his opinion, and I know what he was trying to say. I agree the warmongers will use our hero soldiers for more warmongering and that it is disgusting, but Chris Hayes should not have put his opinion in those terms. Our soldiers are our hero's and we should always proclaim that. War is war and we should never go unless we need to, but when we go our soldiers put their lives on the line for us and for that people in this nation look to them as their hero's. Now the conservatives will use this and that is regrettable, but Chris Hayes gave this to them. People should always think before they talk. He could have made the same point without having to bring up the word hero. I lost my cousin in june of 2005 in the city of Tikrit and I will always think of him and his comrades as hero's.
