Where is your reasoning behind your view when you can't even admit that A- there is no free education in the US, B-the military wage is dismal hence the use of PMC's to substitute, C- die for a cause eh? what cause exactly? tell me what cause, terrorism? that's pretty broad isn't it? |
Where did I say that their was free education in the US, the military wage was good, or that people were dying for a cause?
All I said was that people made a choice that they believed would improve the quality of their life (and for the most part it will) and accepted the well known risks surrounding that choice. The war did not make innocent victims out of the soldiers that died, they're willing participants and as such they accepted the consequences of being a soldier.
At the same time, everyone knows that there are risks involved in any financial contract (including mortgages and investments) and if you agree to the financial contract you're accepting the risk involved with it. As a result, the people who are getting hit on wallstreet because of their investments losing value (or on mainstreet as their mortgage becomes worth more than their home) accepted the consequences of their action.
There are no innocents, if you decided to invest in Countrywide financial because they were outperforming other banks because they were giving large mortgages to people who couldn't afford them, you must accept the fall out when these people default on their mortgages and Countrywide becomes worthless.
