Because, like Bevelacqua said before, we're too PC, don;t want to offend anyone, it's a big problem IMO in America, everytihng is sugarcoated

Somehow, some way we have to win the pr war,,we know the nets and cnn are nothing more than propaganda machines,,somehow everyone needs to see this. People just passively tune into CNN cause it is easy.

Definately too PC.

I have been in the USAF for 22 years .. I've watched us go from the swaggering chest out don't mess with us days of Reagan to the touchy-feely force we have become.

Everyone, please don;t get me wrong - our military men and women are the best, are professionals and above all are American's. We will fight hard and will win, but Belevaqua is right on this point.

We are constantly hammered with Rules of Engagement, the Law of Armed Conflict, How to treat Prisoners, How to treat civilians, how to treat different cultures, etc etc etc. We get non stop training on how to be "nice".

We can get mad, and we can definately kick some ass, but we also are ordered to always always wear the White Hat and be the good guys. Not that that is neccesarily worng, but there is and should be a limit.
