If you really feel that strongly about our military having their hands tied,as 99.99% of us here do, e-mail, fax, write(snail mail) and telephone your congresscritters and any others you can get the addresses for and let them know how you feel. Also get any others in your unit that are as frustrated as you seem to be to do the same, and make a point in your regular daily routine to keep sending them your complaints. Hopefully one of them in DC is going to break loose from the pack and realize the natives are getting restless and demand they throw the rule book away and let the military conduct the war the way successful wars have been fought in the past

If your congresscritter replies with a 'Cut and Run' tactic, or any other cowards excuse, let them hear your wrath.

Good idea, which I did last night. I e-mailed my senator, David Vitter of Louisiana, who is a pretty straight-shooting guy. I told him I really hope the torture and murder of the two young soldiers will be a watershed event that will result in drastic changes in the stupid and self-defeating way we're conducting this "war."

I agree. The purpose of the military is to break stuff and kill people. Not to be a blocking force, or perform a police action, or to be humanitarians.

The utter fallacy of nonlethal war is a cornerstone of liberal idiocy.

Turn up the heat on your representatives, and you will turn up the heat on our enemies.
