...from the article

The act of his sniper was criminal, he said.


Stupid, yes. Criminal, no. Part of me knows the General's response was necessary to placate ignorant and intolerant tribesman. The other part of me says: screw 'em if they can't take a joke.

I'd agree with ya if it were on American soil and private property. He is Military, on foreign soil and involved in an effort that requires respect and trust if possible of Americans, lest we be there that '100 years'. If it was a 'real war' with a goal of unconditional surrender and we put your nation under recievership I would agree with you. These are progressive times and the bugs are still being worked out. Hopefully the West will survive their own game rules.

I remember 'A few Good Men' and a phrase about the Military. The Military does not practice democracy, it preserves it. We'd prefer the term 'Constitutional Republic' but that was lost a while ago.

Alek, if you question that I want to rethink but need some input. btw I hate Islam with a passion that gives my friends and family occasion to shake their heads and call me Islamophobic. I welcome feedback and you already know I respect your opinion even if I disagree.

Your comment was insiteful and well thought out.

What is more, it has an easy readabliltiy that you seldom achive.

Aleksandr's comment was a backhanded compliment. (I think)

I was just surprised by the way you restrained your emotions. Your posts usually give off much more feeling, this one did too, but it was just a little different. Better and different.
