I guess you think that nothing the US military does could ever be seen as wrong. That’s fine. That I guess would be your Platform statement. The Republicans believe that it’s impossible for the US Military to ever do anything wrong ever.
And the Republicans believe that no one should ever criticize anything the US Military does ever.

I don’t have a strong opinion about it either way.

I would suggest that shouldn’t be the Republican message, whether you agree with it or not.

Well Paultard, you will have to just guess that because nothing I have said indicates that I think that. I have said that using armored vehicles to clear an enemy who won't surrender sure beats taking casualties.

I further suggest that (Contrary to what Ron Paul was going around spouting on TV) it is the right thing to do.

As a matter of fact, I will further stipulate that this lack of ability to kill westerners and earn 72 virgins caused the Iraqi forces to quit holding out in trenches, surrender immediately, and saved Iraqi lives (Although I admit Saddam promptly executed many of them when they were repatriated)

And the Republicans believe that no one should ever criticize anything the US Military does ever.

Believe me, I and most veterans I know have spent hours criticizing things the military have done wrong. Using A9 Ace armored bulldozers and tanks with plow attachments in combat are not among those things, nor is not halting an assault in the middle of an operation to accept the surrender of men who break while the unit they are part of is in battle. Some things you do not have the luxury to do.

I don’t have a strong opinion about it either way.

Yeah, that's why you spout the same drivel on thread after thread. Perhaps what you really mean is "I don’t have a strong defensible opinion about it either way."
