Calling American soldiers baby killers, etc., didn't help your cause but it sure does undermine our soldiers' ability to do their job. Every negative generalization about American soldiers' conduct is used as a recruiting tool to lure more wannabee martyrs into terrorist organizations.
I think that individuals that break the military code of conduct should be disciplined, but not made into propaganda for anti-war and pro-terrorist recruitment.  |
What do you mean, "The difference between us"? Have you ever heard me me make any references to calling soldiers in general "baby killers" or other such? Besides, you were the one that said that Sen. Murtha was wrong, and it appears that you need to make a retraction of your statement. But I notice how deftly you chose to avoid making the admission that you were wrong in your beliefs about Sen.Murtha in your reply to me here. Why is that?
Did you know that, in the 60's, I got into more than a few heated "discussions" with our fellow anti war folks about how they shouldn't go making the insinuations that ALL soldiers were baby killers or that they shouldn't go spiting on our returning soldiers either- that the real problem was the folks in power that put them there in the first place. But you, in your infinite wisdom, didn't know that about me, did you? I bet you didn't know that I also supported Bush Jr., the President I didn't vote for in either election, when he decided to invade Afghanistan and go after bin Laden after 9/11 either. I think you and a few others here and elsewhere need to back up a step or two and come to grips with the reality that you don't know me as well as you think you do.
