The decision to put American lives at risk is a decision that has a very high hurdle to pass.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You're not supposed to risk your life just for the physical safety of American citizens - you're supposed to risk your life for American ideals as well.
People need to learn to live with more risk.

The two great risks are risking too much but also risking too little. That's for each person to decide. For me, not risking anything is worse than death. By far.
To be alive at all involves some risk.
If we do not make tough decisions now, future Americans will have to make even tougher ones.

Decision is a risk rooted in the courage of being free.
Life is a risk.
I view risk-aversion as crippling America in many ways.
