Aunty, "We" weren't looking for any irregularity. These allegations did not come the some investigation by The Washington Post. They came from the combat soldiers who found the bodies of executed women and children. Once again, the initial complaints came from fellow combat veterans who were horrified by what they found.

The notion that "its ok as long as its our troopos that are doing it" has been used to excuse some pretty terrible actions. I don't accept it as a valid argument.


If our #1 priority is the safety of our troops then why are we even there? Its a Republican controlled Congress and White House. If safety were such a priority I wouldn't have needed to donate money to Operation Helmet last year.

If you don't know about Operation Helmet then shame on you. Look it up. Supporting Our Troopsshould be something more then lip service and excusing criminal behavior.

And if our #1 priority is stopping terrorism, does anybody honestly think that incidents like this only serve to recruit more terrorists? Its hard to win hearts and minds by seperating them from bodies and souls.
