Reply #29: I was a Captain in Vietnam for two years so I know a little bit about war.

During this Iraq fiasco I have seen pictures of many 45-year-old Bills from Chicago take shots and do kills they could have just as easily passed up. And this "culture of life" you speak of seems to me to be more pronounced in the enemy than in the invaders. And this baloney about doing what the higher ups tell you to do is nothing more than a real nice way of avoiding one's responsibily as a human being. When these men face their God, Buddha, Mohammed, whatever and tell them "Oh, I was just doing what I was told to do..." I don't imagine it will play real well. But, I could be wrong.
