The generalization "our military just does not do stuff like this" is true.

If indeed the person accused is found guilty, then one guy did this. He was in the Military.

"Our Military" does not do things like this.

As in any group of a few hundred thousand people, there will always be a few individuals that do horrible things.

Blaming this on "our Military" is a pretty broad brush.

Let's see what happens in the trial, holding back on statements like "our soldiers slaughtered" Iraqis.

From a post to you that you did not respond to:

...this happens less in the military than it does in civilian life. Military induction and training tends to weed out the criminals and psychos and military leadership does not tolerate the presence of these types of people in their commands. When this happens, and if it happened, it is an anomaly and it is dealt with harshly in accordance with the UCMJ!

Your rush to judgment on almost every accusation against our Military and our Country, the United States of America is a sad commentary on your life.

Since you seem to be the self-appointed arbiter of morality around here, Syncro, I guess my life must be pretty pathetic compared to yours.

Rejoice that you are not like the rest of men!

No, and Quagmire ... er, I mean sinkspur... will not respond to downtownconservative.

Because DTC basically ended the discussion thus:

AND, because DTC knows what he is talking about and Quagmire DOESN'T.
