Exactly. The author blames the 0.01% of the military for the problem. But the real problem is that the press never covers the 99.9%. The press has consistently portrayed our soldiers as only dumb, 'underclass' victims or dumb, 'underclass' criminals for the past 3 years.

And the 'ethics training' is ridiculous. Troops go berserk when they are hit repeatedly and either the ROE do not allow them to go after the terrorists aggressively enough or they are not being given the means (manpower, armor, air cover) to respond effectively.

The Bush administration is degenerating into complete incompetence and spinelessness before our enemies, both foreign and domestic.

The author isn't blaming "the 0.01% of the military for the problem"

He's blaming the press and the public for being influenced by the press.
