60. You don't really get it, do you?
These soldiers didn't wake up one morning and decide to go invade Iraq. The government WE put in place ordered them to do it, which means WE ordered them to do it.

WE failed THEM, and you have the gall to place blame and scorn on the Americans that have borne the greatest cost for our failure. Shame on you.

If you want to live in a society where the military decides on a case by case basis what policies to follow, there are plenty of military dictatorships in the world. I'll take civilian control (and thus, responsibility) for military actions any day.
