  • It's stupid to suggest anything else...Of course we did! We sent them over there knowing that some would die...What else would you call it? You can wrap it in whatever trappings you want, but the fact remains the same: They offered us their lives, and we took them up on it.

    The question is: Is the goal worth the sacrifice? I didn't think so before we got into it, and I sure as hell don't think so now, but I don't see any easy way of getting out of it without making things worse. Just a fucking waste, and it
