Serious Rantage

[GT40FIED]

Well sure man...I've got friends and family over in Iraq and, even though they know I don't like the idea of fighting large scale wars period, they understand that I know they've got a duty to do. The military was never my cup of tea anyway. I don't like the idea of being told when to go to sleep, when to run a mile just for shits and giggles, and when to fight (and possibly kill) for my rights. I do all of that on my own time.

I've seen a couple of videos of troops doing some terrible things. Then again, much like catholic priests who molest boys, I know that those people represent a very tiny number the whole. Anyone who tells you that they know they'd do things different is not only lying to you but themselves as well. There's no way you can predict what a human being will do when placed under the kind of stress a warzone will create. On that alone I think men and women in the service deserve at least a little latitude.
