The War
The blog I chose is http://www.soldierlife.com/2006/02/11/there-are-no-men-in-black-here/, and it basically describes a daily life of a soldier in Iraq. Not only do most people in the United States doubt the war, but most importantly the ones which are in the heat of the battle oppose it as well or at least are asking the same questions as we are; What are we fighting for? and Who is the real enemy? So many soldiers lost their life for an unknown cause, but they are still fighting--not by their own choice. The war is now their life, until they return home.

I firmly agree with you because the soldiers in Iraq are living a life that could have an end in any minute. As Vasquez gave his speech in class he reflected that he, who is a Sargent from the military doesn't know what we are fighting for. It is very sad to hear that a lot of soldiers and innocent people from Iraq are still dying. MOreover, if we (as society) feel sad and frustrated about this situation how worst the soldiers should feel. They are out there fighting for no purpose and even if they disagree to do it they have no choice. they just have to do what they are told to do.
This blog stuck out to me because it was really sad. We have soilders fighting and risking there lifes for a cause that in undefined. It seems as though they just want to come home but are forced to stay there because of the political decisions made here in the America. -Vera
