Just watched on BBC tv the vets marching to new orleans and telling their stories. No different to Vietnam. De-humanise the people, kill at will, carry shovels in your vehicle so when you shoot someone by the side of the road you can throw it out and say they were digging a bomb. One poor lad had killed a child and nothing could get it out of his head and his heart. Somehow they have returned as good people, who, having seen evil done, have changed. But at what a cost to the rest of their lives. I don't suppose Fox news carries their story too much does it? How much does America hear from these men of testament?
