Yes and no
They did sign up to do their duty and knew they could be deployed at any moment.
They also signed up under the belief that they would not be laced in harms way on a whim or for a purpose other than defense of their country.
What these men and women are dying for now is nothing less than an invasion and a personal vendetta. This is what makes it wrong, plain and simple. As I said before if these men and women were dying in the hunt for Osama I could just understand them being put into this position, instead they are in harms way for some sidebar distraction that has worked just wonderfully because the press and the people have all but forgotten about him.
Remember 9/11 my fucking ass...everytime someone proclaims this war on Iraq to be a good thing and fails to mention the hunt for Osama they cheapen those 3,000 + lives lost in the WTC attacks that day.
