"This war has seen fewer civilian casualities than any warfare ever conducted."
I'm afraid we are close to reaching the point where our magnificent military will be rendered ineffective by our constant introspection, over-analysis of every combat error (combat by its very nature is fraught with mistakes), and a misguided desire to show the world what a moral society we are by jumping to prosecute these young men operating in impossible conditions.
Bush's recent hangdog recounting of the Abu Gharib incident was especially disgusting.
In war, your enemy should fear you, not laugh as you engage in endless rounds of navel gazing and second-guessing.
Boy, do I agree with that post.
I wrote a letter to the editor about the "torture" at Abu Graib. What is routinely called torture was really humiliation.
The wires weren't hooked up to electricity. The dogs didn't bit anyone. Etc.
Why couldn't the president and Congress talk about the FACTS about Abu Graib instead of hanging their heads in shame?
You're right -- our military will be rendered ineffective with this constant over-inspection of every move.
