You know, I don't believe that a war of aggression against a country that was no threat to the United States of America, dying for that is a noble cause.

I would like him to tell me if he thinks it's such a noble cause, does he encourage his own daughters to enlist and go over there and take the place of some soldiers who might want to come home. And then another thing, he always says that we have to honor the sacrifices of the fallen by completing the mission. Well, you know what?
