Aunty,

First of all my fault for not being more clear that it was the first paragraph that was specifically directed towards you. The rest of my last post was a general response to other peoples points. Let me retry that.

And my response to that is that "We" weren't looking for any irregularity. These allegations did not come the some investigation by The Washington Post. They came from our own 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.


Now to respond to your last post.

It is the responsibility for Democratic peoples to keep check on their Armed forces.


I don't have the power to revoke anyone's right to a trial. I can only convict if I sat on such a trial. And I only have the meagerest power to insist that such a trial occur by exercising my Freedom of Speech.


Considering that we share alot of the same ideas on what "Supporting our Troops" meant, I am dissapointed that you don't find them interesting. By no means did I ever claim them as new. The shame I directed was not for you Aunty. It was for those who limit their support to a faded yellow bumper sticker, and a tattered flag.
