suport the troops, BUT
I've read threads here about US troops taunting a crippled dog.
I've read threads here about US troops taunting thirsty Iraqi kids with bottles of water.
I've read threads here about US troops raping and killing Iraqi families.
I've read threads here about US troops torturing innocent iraqis arrested because they were male.
I've read threads here about worse.

Yet, These are but some human failings, due in part, to too much stress, doing battle where we do not belong. I do not blame the troops at large; i DO BLAME THE MOFOs who put our troops at risk, under stress, and who have caused the lives of thousands of our troops and 100x as many Iraqis to be wasted uselessly.

It is only logical that bad things happen in a war. It only makes it worse that we sought this war unnecessarily.

1. These are human failings, yes...
but this is directly linked to this administration forcing the military to lower it's psychology requirments....these are the results...

I say that this administration has committed crimes against America and American Citizens and our military men and women...

2. War is hell.
War should be the absolute last option.
