I agree. However I do not believe i have to sit quietly by and take the abuse of being called a murderer. I see those people every day and I am not one. I agree that a better person would let it be. However I have never said that I am one of those better people. I am flawed. I am going to defend myself. I will defend those who sacrifice so much. When I am at war i will defend those here at all cost. While I am here i will defend those at war. They do not deserve to be judged by someone sitting safely in Paintsville where everything is so simple. While he was sun bathing on the beach this past weekend someone was giving their life. Then he puts them down.

In every war that has ever been fought in recorded history, a few "bad apple" soldiers have proven themselves mercenaries: cruel, heartless, basically, "murderers" using war as a cover for their treachery. America cannot claim exception. However, for the overwhelming majority of soldiers, I think war is a "****" that burns the memory as long as life fills the body... not to mention when it is almost impossible to tell an enemy from a friend in the "hot zone." It was said in Vietman that the enemy was everywhere around and nowhere to be found at the same time. It seems Iraq and Afghanistan are like that as well.
