let me be very simple here. I do not agree with the way we went about it, and yes I say WE. AS IN ALL OF AMERICA. 90% of the people complaining about the war now were pushing for it beforehand. INCLUDING KERRY! I have served with some very brave and courageous men, and I have many friends who have served as well. I will be blunt when I say that actions like torturing captured soldiers is not something condoned. Seriously, you think Bush walked down to the camp and said hey lets go and do this and that to these guys. Bush had NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. If some american soldiers did this, then they should be blamed, not the entire government. that is just trying to find an excuse to blame bush and his cabinet. Doing that only shows that you don't have anything real on him, and have to stretch for something.

Let me just tell all you people who blame america and insult the soldiers who are fighting so you can drink your latte's and act like assholes. If you do not like america then go live in iran or iraq. I doubt that anyone here would go and live in iraq with saddam as dictator. I have middle eastern friends that came from Iran. Believe me, its a different picture when you ge the blunt of it in person.

I don't agree with how we went about it, but saddam is a sick sick man and his soldiers as well. I do not agree with torture on either side. I do not think we should treat them with degredation. I think it would be better for us as Americans to show everyone else how it should be done. Though, those of you who just want to get on a stupid picture comment site and say things like "you suck" and "nitemare" (which is an ignorant mispelling) should consult a dictionary to come up with better ways to express your thoughts. (referring to the other picture of torture). Bush nor any of his higher ups, did this torture. We don't blame our neighbors for it, and they had just as much to do with the torture as bush did. Bush may be the commander and chief, but trust me. not everything he says gets done. Even my CO couldnt stop some hazing and other 'illegal' activities that went on.

Also think long and hard before you criticize america. We may not have it perfect, but it is a great deal better here than anywhere else in the world. You are entitled to your opinion, but at least try to make it an educated one. You talk about not putting guns in the hands of rednecks, but by the type of comments made here, I would say we should not be putting keyboards in the hands of rednecks. Actually, I should not say that....it would be insulting to true rednecks.

If you want to change your country then do something about it. The majority of people complaining about the war have never served any public office or done any public service. Most fireman, police, emt, military, etc support america. Maybe not every part of america, but the last time I saw a soldier slandering america it was slandering it's wanna-be president Kerry.


NOW COME ON ALL OF YOU DEMOCRATS. LET'S ALL REPEAT AFTER DADDY KERRY...

"I WAS FOR THE WAR IN IRAQ BEFORE I WAS AGAINST IT"
