text: Here are some thoughts as to why.  People listen to the media, which is liberal, and anti-bush.  People don't like to learn from history, and remember how hard it was to get what we have in America, and that it is mostly due to the wars we fought, died, and bled for.  Soldiers have always died in war, and this is no different.  It is no surprise to them, or their families.  They KNOW it can happen, and still happily go.  They LOVE their country, and lots of Americans cannot understand, or appreciate it.  I agree completely with you.  It is NOT a failure, and I hope that you realize not as many say that as you are hearing.   The media just WANTS you to think it is all bad.  Keep speaking truth, and sharing what you know.
