I would say none but there are a few.  All serving in non combat safe zones.  \nDo you really think a politicians kid is going to be put in harms way?  (See GWBush Jr./ National Guard... Al Gore/ military news reporter during Vietnam.)

No, the Iraqi people no longer want American or any other countries soldiers there.  We cannot force a true Democracy, especially when we do not have one ourselves.  People want to live with "their own kind".  That does not mean they do not want to interact politically.  \n\nWe are killing a maiming our own young people because G. Bush refuses to correct his mistake in going into Iraq.  There were other ways to get rid of Saddam Hussein without ruining Iraq.\n\nThe Iraqi people did not attack us, it was the Saudi Arabians.  We did not go in and take them out.\n\nYou also cannot police the whole world.

RAMADI, Iraq -- Gazing through the telescopic sight of his M-24 rifle, Army Staff Sgt. Jim Gilliland, leader of Shadow sniper team, fixed his eye on the Iraqi insurgent who had just killed an American soldier. \n    His quarry stood nonchalantly in the fourth-floor bay window of a hospital in battle-torn Ramadi, still clasping a long-barreled Kalashnikov. Instinctively allowing for wind speed and bullet drop, Shadow's commander aimed 12 feet high. \n    A single shot hit the Iraqi in the chest and killed him instantly. It had been fired from a range of more than three-quarters of a mile, well beyond the capacity of the powerful Leupold sight, accurate to 3,300 feet.

Of course, if they want to have a Vietnam-like experience they can attack Iran.\nThese countries are not comparable, Kuwait is as small as capital of Iran and Iraq was at its worst point of military power when US attacked them, years of sorounding had made them so weak that even 1 Iraqi aircraft didn't do any mission.\nAlso it must be noted that US troops only captured deserts of Iraq and its mountains were attacked by Turkey which had long time problems with natives there.\nThe last time that US troops try to attack Iran on 25th April 1980 they so hurrily left Iran that Iran government sent them the  body of boys.\nIt is funny; neither Iranian was aware of operation nor they shoot a bullet only Iran sand defeated USA.

not at all, the israeli army has the upper hand with all the weapons they have.  They kill women and children for no reason, did you hear on the news this morning, 8 children were killed while they were sleeping!! 8 poor kids what did they ever do to the israeli arm??\nwhen the US was handing out land to the Jews it should have considered giving up part of its own land because the way i see it this conflict will never end.

This is very possible that would be considered friendly fire though. The Australians fired upon Americans during the Vietnam war if they were in there campaign areas too.

it's not a good idea to give money to people who want to purposefully blow up little children.  it's not logical.\n\nthe best strategy in Iraq is to give the land and resources to the Kurds.  In Israel, the arabs should be forced to convert to Christianity, and then they can learn the "Thou shalt not kill" law.  You might've heard of that one, it's in the Ten Commandments I think.

There were quite a few and many were shot by firing squad. I believe the youngest was a fifteen year old who gave a false age on enlisting.   It is also said that officers were never court marshalled for cowardice, this is because they were reduced to the ranks prior to being tried.

being armed in Iraq is a crime, since the days of saddam Hussien. civilians cannot have weapons at all. but at the end of the previous regiem, the people there armed them selves with the weapons left by the army, some were being ready under the past government to protect Bagdad when the american forces enter. thousands of iraqis are illegally armed.

250,000 Iraqis have been murdered by the barbaric American troops since the 2003 invasion. Most of them are civilians, women and children. Therefore by the Bush administrations own 'standards' you have committed genocide. I don't know about you but I do not like to be partially responsible for such war crimes, whether 250,000 deaths is genocide or not, it is an unforgivable crime. As citizens in a "democratic, freedom loving" country you should take some responsibility for the actions of your elected barbaric governments.

no surprise.  how many lives of innocent Iraqi children did he save?

I think that many children are starting to sit up and take notice because things are not the same as they were six years ago. Fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, cousins going to Iraq. Soldiers being killed on what seems to be a daily basis. These aren't things that will escape their notice. Unfortunately, with the current administration, the age of childhood innocence isn't what it used to be.

Im currently serving in Iraq with the army, and I truly believe it's not the american people worrying about the way he died. The american people are fine in knowing that the evil witch is dead. But the press is going to make it a big hype for the the next best story. The american press Sucks! I am in great dislike knowing the means that they go to, to get a story. I mean look at this marine ordeal, they have considered them all guilty before even a trial. When if you would do some research you would see the fact so far to them killing innocent people intentionally are discredited. My suggestion is quit worry about what these idiots care about and educate yourself on true facts. Go to www.boredsoldier.blogspot.com Thats a site my friend here in Iraq has started, hear your news from soldiers. Not a peanut gallery that knows only propaganda!
