Re: War is hell

You probably aren't very good at thinking.

You do it, you do it, they retaliate.

I can hear the commanding officers reprimanding the men right now. They are getting reemed out, not for doing what they did, but for being stupid enough to get caught "...men when I was in your place back in Nam, we would never be so careless as to let ourselves be photographed, you were trained better than that....."

Please post off-topic thoughts in a more appropriate forum. It's safe to say we're all frustrated with current events, but this is not the generally accepted place for discussion.

I seriously doubt that Marty Hall

With or without the photographs and being officially caught out, one must assume that the Iraqi people have a fair idea of what is going on. The chances are that such inhumane treatment is only going to strengthen their resolve to boot out the US. The conflict can only continue to escalate until the US public wants out. At that point the obvious is going to happen - the strongest Iraqi faction surviving will take control and another "Hussein" will become the repressive dictator.

All the US will have achieved is a bloodbath in Iraq and a younger dictator.

And maybe an Islamic fundamentalist which is what we least want.

If that is the case, he will be able to "serve" his people longer than Madman Hussain.

I don't know - will the US support him the way they did Hussein?

It's Iraq for God's sake, why should they get what WE want? Marty Hall

``````` Ah, a voice of reason.

I'm with you, Greg. When will some of these knuckle heads get a clue?

Only if he cuts them the same oil deal as Sadam did.

You want a well moderated group, you have come to the wrong place. You cannot limit access to a free public newsgroup.
