"I am not dissing anyone."
"If our soliders "couldn't take it any more" in Haiti it does not bode well for our military in a real war."

I don't have contacts in the Balkans, so I'll take you at your word for that part of the discussion.
OTOH, we now have over 4 months of combat experience in Central Asia. I do have several friends involved in that action. And to say our soldiers can't hack it in a real war...as your quote above indicates...even if you did make it a conditional statement...is very disrespectful.

So, badmouth the Balkan mess as much as you'd like, but lay off American service men and women.

I've never been within 5,000 miles of a war, but IMHO, you wouldn't want to go strutting around the local VFW based on this police action in Afghanistan.
