What would you die for?

I was reading about friendly fire killing more coalition soldiers. Friendly fire? What the hell is that? It's like the phrase "Civil War". Makes no damn sense.
And while I'm bitching, let me add a bit about John McCain. Listen John, I understood when you pandered to the extreme right. You need the nomination and you won't get it without appearances at places like Liberty University and telling Republican beleivers that the war is going well, but you crossed a line. I can turn the other cheek when you make outrageous claims about mythical safe Baghdad streets, but to put 100 soldiers in harm's way to prove how safe those streets are? You are damn lucky that none of them got hurt in that little publicity stunt. If they had? What would you have said at their funeral? Do you tell the mother, wife, or husband that their little soldier died an honorable death getting you elected?
So, I'll ask the title question to my audience here. What would you be willing to die for? Don't answer me. Just think about it.
