Thanks Guest 11:53 AM, for pointing out that the problem ISN'T a few bad apples. The problem is the culture of violence and militarism, which only is ever able to hold criminality and sadism in check. If the world has learned nothing else from Rwanda, the Nazis, Bosnia, and all the other genocides and wars against civilians in the last century, it should certainly be that.

The pro-militarism Vietnam vets don't want to talk about who the true victims of war are, and whom, if they actually saw combat, they themselves killed in Vietnam. Civilians. Innocent civilians. Not because they were any more or less evil than the soldiers killing civilians in Iraq today. That is simply the nature of war nowadays.
