I love the picture of the soldier giving a drink of water.

It's magnificent! The contrast is amazing - A highly trained military man who is human enough to give his enemy a drink of water. Liberals do not understand WHO WE ARE.

I am very diappointed in the way this war is going on. I am a wife of a Cpl. in the Marine Corp and to see our men having to "cater" to the Iraqi soldiers needs as POWS is really iritating. Our POWS, God bless them, are not being treated the way we are treating the Iraqi's. They are only surrendering to live another day. Our men and women are fighting for someone else's freedom and they are being treated like shit! The way I see it don't take POWS of Iraq, kill them the way they are killing our brave men and women! Iraq is the one that decided to fight us and that is what we are here for. If you think about it the way I do, every POW that we have captured could have killed one of our men or women before they were captured and now we are making sure they are feed and watered on a regular basis. What about our POWS? Just something to think about!
