there are political, and more honorable ways to fight is my point.
and the soldiers or marines are incredible young man doing the best they can
in this fuck up war.
and it bothers me a lot as a veteran when people attack them, when they have no absolute power over the conflict, obviously there have been mistakes and dozens or even hundreds of excess of force, but is war, and its ugly.
and I you were in their shoes or their families, you wouldn't treat them like that.  |
i am in their shoes and i'm not treating anyone in any way other than asking for some explanation on why you're defending actions that has resulted in a child with 40 mm cannon wounds in her body while your brother appeared to be begging for permission to shoot.
it might be hard to believe that some of us understand that things aren't always peachy during a time of war, but some of us seem to be able to tell the difference between french resistance fighters strapping bombs to themselves to defend their homeland, compared to american helicopters machine gunning iraqi children, to give those children their freedom? i.. yea.
furthermore, i'm not a 'civilian douche', i am one of the members of a nation that is your ally who is extremely concerned regarding the actions that are being taken in the name of freedom and liberty, and who you are sworn to protect.
