"There are all kinds of atrocities, and I would have to say that, yes, yes, I committed the same kind of atrocities as thousands of other soldiers have committed in that I took part in shootings in free fire zones. I conducted harassment and interdiction fire. I used 50 calibre machine guns, which we were granted and ordered to use, which were our only weapon against people. I took part in search and destroy missions, in the burning of villages. All of this is contrary to the laws of warfare, all of this is contrary to the Geneva Conventions." John F. Kerry, April 18, 1971, in an interview with Tim Russert on Meet the Press... President Elect or WAR CRIMINAL? You decide. I choose the latterLaura Ingraham...Is that you?????

Why? Andrew's progesterone has been oozing for some time now. I dont mind that he is gay, I mind that he is double-minded.

Perspective is our friend. Some added perspective. About 16,000 Americans were killed in the Battle of the Bulge (a little less than a month). About 41,000 Americans were KIA in the entire Vietnam war. (1955-75)

In WWII for example, 700 soldiers drowned in a training accident in preparation for D-Day. Not quite an accident. German E-boats attacked LST's in an exercise off the British south coast. For some reason air cover, which would have made short work of the E-boats was non-existent.
