65. I am disappointed with our troops!!
I know that not all of them are guilty of these actions.

How are these soldiers acting? Does it resemble the Nazis when they were searching out their own people, the Jews and others?

A parade for these troops should be out of the question when they return.

The killing of Saddam sons was inexcusable. But apparently it was not important to find out what information they might have. It couldn't have been too difficult to surround the house and use law enforcement tactics to bring them out without killing them. Hmmm... tear gas, loud music, bright lights 24/7, eliminate all exits from the upstairs hideout, cut off water supply or drug it. I am sure that there might be other more effective ways.

On another note.. watching the History Channel. They covered the POW's kept in the US during WWII. How they were treated and the reunion between POW's and guards about 40 years later. The POW's were treated much better than *bush is doing. This was the time of rations for the American people but POW's were fed the same as American soldiers. I don't know how that can be since I would think our soldiers wouldn't have access to what the German POW's ate and enjoyed.
