Graham:

By some military personnel I didn't mean only privates and sergeants and such. The whole chain of command, from the direct actors up to and including the president, is at least potentially culpable.

But one needs to distinguish the fact that those threads of responsility and culpability are fairly narrow (as I see it, anyway), and "our men and women in uniform" or "American Troops" cannot be tarred with that broad brush.

Wisdom (and even fairness) consists in the ability to make appropriate distinctions.
