How Sad....

I think that what has been done to the Iraqi prisoners is shameful but I also think seeing American citizens burned and hung from a bridge is shameful. I`m not saying I agree with what a SELECT few American soldiers have done to prisoners because I don`t, but lets not forget the soldiers who are over there following orders to protect us. They aren`t all doing things like this

Shannon, U.S. Soldiers are not "protecting" Americans by torturing Iraquis. Also, the excuse about "following orders" is what the Nazis said also. That was their excuse. These U.S. Soldiers are using the same excuse. Its despicable.

I wasn`t saying the people who were torturing were following orders or protecting us. I was saying that the majority of soldiers over there have done nothing but follow orders and protect us.

I agree with Shannon, we MUST stand by and support our soldiers regardless of if we agree with the war or not. High ranking officials may or may not have ulterior motives but our sons and daughters truly believe they are fighting (and dying) to protect us. If we are not careful we will have a repeat of what happened when our loved ones returned from Vietnam. I am against this war and I do believe we should not have been in Vietnam but either way I will stand by the men and women that have sworn to give their lives to protect the freedoms I live by daily. While I do not condone the behavior of the individual soldiers I can not imagine the things those young men & woman have lived to see or the task they have been asked to perform can you?
