I mean with this logic no one should hate talibans but only bin laden and other commanders but it is not the case..same is with nazi soldiers - everyone loves to hate them - why not only hitler and top commanders? for me soldiers are the equal participants in this "pointless, trumped up and illegal war.".
No one forced those soldiers to go to iraq or war really, as far as I know you are free to walk in USA if you dont like what the Bush has in plan for you...
I have to admit it, the bush was really funny guy...top comedy stuff...

Soldiers do what they do for noble reasons. Just because a drunken cowboy sends them to an illegal war to die, that doesn't make the job any less noble, just pointless. No one 'forced' those soldiers to go to Iraq? Maybe you don't understand how the military works. Choice is not an option. When enlisted, you are
government property and you do what they tell you to do, or you face the consequences. You don't get to "quit" the minute some jackass like Bush sends you to go kill people. They do what they are told and go kill people.
