Where do these statistics come from? What other studies have been evaluated to account 
for these statistical variance you continue to quote. What rules them out?

Let's assume that your assertions are correct. What would the alternative be, and, what 
would you have the military do? Your philosophy would have any individual who puts troops in 
harm's way, under any condition, deemed to be evil men. Many fine citizens who also happen 
to have been in the military, or involved in the creation of these weapons, or defending these 
weapons, have seen their names, credibility and honour, dragged through the mud in this 
forum. I repeat, many fine men. Anyone who really believes that our military and civilian 
leaders find happiness in the misfortunes of others, especially troops who do this for any 
country, has to be a little misguided. War is hell. Soldiers are injured and do die. Their deaths 
and/or serious injuries have a severe adverse effect on their families and other loved ones. 
Soldiers know what they are getting into when they volunteer. There are many causes of 
injury, such as the bombs that you refer to above, IEDs, and other sources of significant 
inflicted misery. 

I respect your fight for what you obviously believe in. I also respect those who disagree with 
your opinions. What do they gain by "lying" as you so often state? Is this just a financial 
aversion? I can't buy that.

Men do what they believe to be valid. Nobody likes war. Personally I wish there were not one 
now, but that is another discussion for another venue. But there is, there will be more, and 
that doesn't mean that all of those involved are evil men.
