Well, its personal to me. I have several of my buddies over there. Regardless of whatever political opinions people have our troops are bleeding over there every day. I don't think that they are in any way justified in shooting civilians. I am simply saying that they get attacked every day in the most brutal way by a variety of forces.  You put on 50 pounds of gear in 100 heat, then watch your buddies head get blown off and see how charitible you feel.  The fog of war, my Baerwaldian comrades.  They literally have no idea half the time where the fire is coming from. Compound that with the fact that the enemy hides amongst civilians and you have a serious problem.  I am just glad I am not over there. The strangest thing is that the guys I know think they are making a difference, despite the bloodshed.

I wonder what any of us would do in a similiar situation?
