[Protoclown]

Sure nationality is nice for cultural identity and all that, but in terms of weighing the VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE (which happens to be what we're talking about if you've not noticed, and coincidentally, the context my statement is supposed to be taken in) I don't see how you can assign any one higher than another.

To ME it is unfortunate to see EITHER person in that scenario die. Do I want our troops to win? Sure I do. Now that we're in there, I'd prefer we take care of business QUICKLY and get out, with as few casulties on both sides as humanly possible. But I still mourn for ALL the lost lives, whether they are friend or foe.
