I apologize to you and to everyone on this thread and all freepers and especially the families of our support troops in harm's way.

My remarks were stupid and incredibly badly timed. There will be time later to discuss the wisdom of sending under-trained support troops into chaotic combat areas with no front lines and enemy all around later, when this war is over.

I am impressed with your retraction and apology. That kind of courage and humility is worthy of respect. I know your intentions are good. Thank you. CC

When the war is over:').

I apologize to … everyone on this thread and all freepers and especially the families of our support troops in harm's way.

That is admirable, thank you. I will now assume your concerns were heartfelt but (incredibly) poorly timed.

Re #50.

Travis your remarks were stupid only because of the reactions you got. I feel as emotionally upset as you regarding how this war is being run. And I can't help but agree with you. Cutting off the balls of our military with the capture of female prisoners of war is basic stuff. It scares me our military could be this stupid.
