I agree with that saying "War is Hell." Some of that Hell is the expectations WE place on our warriors who are not treated equally.
Panties on head vs burning and dragging through the streets, hanging on bridges, and beheadings, etc? But in the end--this opposition will thank us (as those before them did) for our decency. Right. /sarcasm on.
I'm a believer in beating our enemy into yesterday. Before Japan and Germany ever straightened their act up we had to beat them to a pulp. We are much to PC today, imo. War is hell and our troops should be free to initiate that hell upon our enemy.
