Yes, you do.

He's a thinking soldier, who's not afraid to ask the tough questions after something goes wrong. With all due respect for your service, you need to learn as much as you can from someone like that.

I've read this whole thread over the past two days and am seriously trying to understand how you think you are able to voice an opinion on "How men are supposed to behave" on the battlefield.

These guys are what we have takin' for granted over our life time. The fighting soldier in the field sees things, experience things that you or I could not even get close to deeply entrenched in a Tom Clancy novel. Who are we to judge these individuals? Who are you to judge these individuals?

This may not sit right with the fence sitters around here, but short of pillage, rape and murder, I salute them and pray in silence for for them. For they are the reason we are the way we are. They are the reason we are able to be the way we are.

Over the years here at FR I am continually irritated at the self righteous. They come and it is their views who rein supreme. I think that is a bigger crime than lobbing off a finger, or taking a crap on a dead enemys' head. Though, natuarally you won't agree...

JMHO
