I saw one photo in Time right after the start of the war.
A wounded Iraqi was being treated by US Medic. He was applying a pressure bandage with one hand and using the other hand to tear open another one he had between his teeth.

The Iraqi soldier had his head in the lap of a fellow Iraqi soldier who was obviously trying to support and comfort his comrade.

Standing above the Iraqis were other American soldiers. One had his hand pressed to a wound on his own arm and was bleeding from his face.

I was touched by the photo at the compassion shown by the soldiers and the medic. The medic was treating an enemy soldier instead of his own man because the enemy was obviously more severely wounded.

It is this compassion that makes us better than the insurgents.

Yeah. I used to be proud to be an American.

Seeing our soldiers in action in Iraq has changed that.

I'm now deeply humbled to be an American. I can only aspire to be as worthy of that title as they have shown themselves to be.

There's something wrong about your tagline... especially on this thread...
