Subject: RE: BS: American Soldiers Torturing Iraqis
Perfect example of you not knowing what the hell you are talking about. Do you honestly believe that 18 year old US kids went to Vietnam with the intent of killing innocent civilians? The problem laid with a Pentagon that was sending young warriors into battle prepared for one kind of fight, and they get there to find another kind. Our armed forces were ready for any regular army that could be mustered. But we were woefully unprepared for the guerrilla type war we faced. BTW, GUEST, have you any comment on the Viet Cong who tortured and murdered people as well? How about the insurgents Iraqui forces that are using innocents as human shields? Any comment on that? I understand, better than you ever could, why that happens, but I am curious on your take of these heinous acts.

I hate that we are in this war, and it was started under false pretenses. But I want you to reveal your real agenda, instead of just throwing out verbal grenades and getting people to react to the bang. But then, that would require integrity, honesty, and depth of intellect. You possess none of these, so I am not hopeful............
