On the way back to Vietnam a few years ago, we flew over Hiroshima at about 2am local time. Looking down at her lights I said a short prayer for the innocents who had died or lost family there, though still in my realization of how inevitable and necessary it had been.

When you go to war with a country, no one is innocent. This PC war fighting started with Viet Nam. When my father dropped bombs on Germans, he didn't care if it was a school, hospital, or ammo dump, they were Germans and would kill him if given the chance. Many of his buddies bailed out and were killed by housewives with butcher knives and children with pitch forks.

If America is attacked, I will be as dangerous as any military unit to the invader. I don't really believe the throat cutters will give me or my family quarter because we are "innocent". It should teach us that we are responsible for our leaders actions. If Hugo Chavez wants to take on the US, are we going to fret every time we have to drop a bomb? That's why we haven't won a war since WWII. Look at Korea. We are still having problems with them because we didn't fight an unlimited war until they said "uncle".
