The goodness of America-CBS photo-could I do this?
CBS news site ^ | 3/26/03 | self

Posted on 03/26/2003 8:58:36 AM PST by mtrott

Tears filled my eyes when I saw this Marine helping this enemy that had just ambused a supply convoy. This surely captures the goodness and nobility of America on film. The tears were there because upon seeing this I thought to myself, "could I be this good, this principled, or would I just put this sob out of his misery on the spot, like they apparently did to our mechanics who were apparently attempting to surrender?"

It is truly sad that a regime such as Saddam's even exists. Surely they will attempt through every subtrefuge and despicable behavior to force us down to their level. I hope this war can be somehow be successfully prosecuted without that happening.

So what are the odds that identical triplets would all be wounded in the same battle?

There is an even better photo from Day 1 or 2 of the Marine giving him water.

"could I do this?"

In two words - 'fraid not!" I cured an egg-sucking dog once. Then I reloaded.

Sure it will. Only, the caption will be changed to "Ruthless US Marine slowly breaks Iraqi prisoner in half over his neck".
