For many in the Mexican-American community, the 8 soldiers of Mexican descent who have been killed, so far, in the Iraq War, are not "heroes" but "victims". A "hero" in Mexican culture is defined as "A man or woman distinguished by exceptional courage, nobility and strength in a cause which is considered good and moral." Unfortunately, those behind the present war have twisted the true meaning of "heroism" to serve their own interests. These warmongers have convinced many that soldiers who are killed invading a foreign country, kill children and women and rob that nation's treasures are heroes.

These soldiers of Mexican descent killed are actually victims themselves. They are victims because the social, economic and political realities and especially their lack of higher education has prevented them from understanding the true nature of this war of aggression against Iraq. Their lack of education on top of the actual brainwashing that goes on in society through the mainstream media convinced many of these young soldiers that joining the US military was the right thing to do. For many of these young soldiers, joining the military service was the only alternative out of poverty. These young privates and corporals were not just the victims of the warmongers but also victims of the US educational system that failed them miserably.

The caustic US General George S. Patton of World War II once said, "Men, it is not your duty to die for your country; it is to make the other son-of-a-bitch die for his." For the three Mexican soldiers killed, not only did they not "make the other son-of-a-bitch die for his," but they did not even die for theirs. Under these circumstances and others already mentioned, it is difficult to consider these young and naive fallen soldiers as being heroes. Pobrecitos . . . que descansen en paz!

1. Many Americans would take these jobs but they are forced to get out of the military

after 20 to 30 years of service. They are still healthy and able to run faster, do more pushups, cruches, etc then their younger counterparts, but this country discriminates against them because of age.
