Please, if you're so mature, if you have such brilliance as to how war ought to be undertaken, please take a stand someplace where it will make a difference. Demonstrate your courage and strength by picking up a rifle and taking a post. If you lack the integrity to put your money where your mouth is, please be so kind as to take your insolence and foolishness elsewhere.
With all respect due you,

Oh dear. Bad day at pony club?
You display the same lack of rationality and objectivity that you displayed in the recent god thread, Shadowfax. I have no intention of raising a rifle against anyone in the foreseeable future, let alone against some poor schmucks trying to eek out a living collecting garbage in a country that been liberated within an inch of its life in order realise a neo con wet dream.
If you can mount any defence for Abu Graihb, Bagram, the recent video shooting incident, and this incident posted earlier- please do. Remembering charges have been laid, ofcourse. Consider also there is just the slightest of possibilities that more of these incidents are occurring than is being either reported to or prosecuted by military authorities in Iraq.
After all, 10,000- (one estimate of 100,000)- Iraqis are dead and require no further liberation.
Now do please post something more about the sweet innocent soldier and the jolly fat santa sleeping in the same room. Read the James Jones “The Thin Red Line”? A lot of that sort of thing went on in the army, at least in WW2. Whoops, there goes another sacred cow.
