What I meant was that perhaps a few snapped and went on the equivalant of phychotic rampages. Then again, people who AREN'T fighting in war do that. Does that make every single human being on the planet a psychopath? No...it doesn't even make us all potential psychopaths, because most people simply DON'T do that regardless of the circumstances.
I apologize for the choice of words. Until I read your post referring me to the letter, I had completely forgotten that thanks to Kerry & Company, it will never be a given that US soldiers aren't the evil, bloodthirsty bastards some people assume thay are. I left that statement too open to creative interpretation. In fact, I promise to be EXTREMELY careful in the future.
Thank you for your service.
