The consequences of war are dire, the sacrifices immeasurable. We may have occasion in our lifetime to once again rise up in defense of our freedom, and pay the wages of war. But we ought not?—?we will not?—?travel down that hellish path blindly. Nor should we allow those who would march off and pay the ultimate sacrifice, who would prove the full measure of devotion with their blood, to make such an awful sacrifice in vain.

Yet, during the debate with John McCain on September 26, 2008, Presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama clearly says,

“No U.S. soldier ever dies in vain because they are carrying out the missions of their Commander-in-Chief, and we honor all the service they’ve provided.”

With Barack Hussien Obama, it all depends on your definition of vain, doesn’t it?
