morally jarring experiences of soldiers like Kerry, Webb and Hagel, who found themselves unable to recognize their enemy in the confusion of the jungle;"

Can anyone translate this for me?

It means they lost it and killed innocent civilians. And blamed it on the "confusion of the jungle."

"It means they lost it and killed innocent civilians. "

In a war, what is an innocent civilian? And why do you have to lose it to kill them?

If a soldier is in the jungle he darn well better not be confused or he is a goner...War is confusing until you stop your own fear and panic and start to see who is shooting at you, then it becomes much clearer...I would venture that the 3 amigos mentioned didnt see much action out in the jungle, or for a full tour...It’s just too bad that they choose to ignore what Freedom means ao any human being and instead pick up on the apathetic lies of the leftists in this country who want to sell out America to it’s enemies...
