Can't imagine living through it. The telling of it is gruesome enough. The article portrays very well the resolve and deviousness of the enemy. In war, enemies are supposed to be devious ... but there's something about American culture which flows in my veins that makes me draw back in horror at the way the al Qaida mindset works. No wonder the military has to train soldiers to kill and be vicious about it when the need arises. It doesn't come naturally to a civilized people.

You make a very good point. You would be suprised at what you could do if you had to. Its a gene in all of us, but yes, our side needs the military training to turn it on and hone it. Thats why we get upset when we lose just one soldier.
