Now that I can agree with.
Although I utterly hate this stupid war and the fabricated "reasons" behind it, the fact is if we commit troops to a mission, you don't saddle it with political correctness and make them fight with one hand tied behind their back.

I agree the soldier's behavior was stupid. All we should have done is disciplined the guy and issued an apology. I think the kissing the Koran thing is inappropriate. Our military shouldn't be kissing or publicly revering ANY religious icons, regardless of denomination. The last thing we should be doing is mixing up military and religious dogma. . . Slippery slope and no good can/will come of it.
