hey voice of reason,
as far your serious ignorance and/or denial of what criminal acts our military has engaged in and is still engaging in, it's not "leftists sitting at home" where i get my info from. it's from first-hand experience and from other countless vets who have witnessed or have been a part of these horrendous acts (above and beyond what is considered "acceptable" in war, whatever that means.) sure, cnn doesn't run these stories too often. but it's not because it doesn't happen a lot.
politics aside, war is no picnic and it ain't no hollywood movie. children are killed regularly by our troops, and the rules go out the window when the lead starts flying. and don't tell me "they didn't mean to do it," the fact is, when you fire off your weapon or sling some ordance downrange, you have no idea what is out there. and that's just the times when it's an "accident."
that historical revisionist crap about us saving american lives by dropping fat man and little boy on japan is insulting to the innocent lives lost. it was more like a show of strength to intimidate the u.s.s.r., and it worked, at least initially. but you go on believing what you want to, it seems like most americans have this fairy tale version of history (and current events) that they rock themselves to sleep with at night. it just isn't consistent with historical evidence not to mention what most of the rest of the world sees. |
