LH, I agree with every word you said about the lack of good reason for being in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and in fact anywhere outside our own borders.

Nonetheless, to equate our soldiers with slaves is to denigrate, and debase, a fine bunch of men who have signed up voluntarily to put themselves in harms way in our service, which has cost 220 of them everything they had.

By all means query the actions of the fools and blackguards who have put them where they are, but don't blame a worker for doing his job, when it's his boss that is screwing up.
