I appreciate and even enjoy most of your threads but this one, perhaps unwittingly, amounts to a cheap shot (the kind ddeubel thrives on).
You set up a false juxtaposition: Haditha (an aberrant, abhorrent crime) with the general attitude of Marines (hardly of this sort) to make your tenuous case.
Even the best police officers develop a certain disdain for the rough communities in which they are forced to operate daily. It's obvious you've never been in the military stationed overseas because when you deal with bad elements (insurgents, terrorists, criminals) every day it is inevitable and therefore natural to develop a certain emotional distance from those you have been assigned to protect.
Think about it, really. |
I actually added the word some in front of marines for a reason, Steve.
It was simply a posting of article with a certain view point. I post various view points. Am I concerned about the welfare of the Iraqi people?
Yes. Am I concerned about the welfare of the soldiers? Yes.
It's that simple. This topic shouldn't be under the carpet and brushed aside. It's that simple. Frankly, I think the article seems to hint that there seemed to be cover ups when it came to murders. For me, that is a concern. People need to be held accountable for their evil or good. |
