No, you're not a monster, you're just putting your opinion out there. Perhaps we need to start another thread to address these legitimate concerns, one where it would not besmirch those who now may need our support most of all. Being a POW in Iraq is all hell.
I appreciate you saying you support them - they need it. Parents of troops NEED to hear this right now - and I will be among them soon... I am PROUD of my daughter.
P.S. Just between you and me, I _could_ whip you, but I would need to employ the tire iron I just used to change that flat. At five feet, I have to rely on pure meaness ;)
As an astute poster pointed out previously, it's probably a load of crap. They try this school yard psy-ops garbage all the time. Bad propaganda designed to diminish morale and scare people.
At least I hope so and the odds are on our side.
